I wouldn't say that. If people want to sort their mail by making a folder for each sender they have a lot of correspondence with, creating a folder named 'mikko.kortelainen@techelp.fi' is a lot more intuitive than 'mikko_kortelainen@techelp_fi'. For you or me it probably wouldn't matter, but I'm talking about normal users here...

Just because you have 1 or 2 people asking to use a stupid PERIOD in a mailbox name does not merrit a demand or real reason to allow the period.
Let em to use an underscore or dash ( _ - ) sheeesh! Is it worth the bother to redefine your code for that?
hehe

Hi,
There's been some demand from users to make it possible to use the period character (.) in folder names, but that is impossible when the folder separator is already period.
Is there any possibility of replacing that which another separator, say a / ? Currently Dovecot supports only Maildir++ directory layout, which specifies that '.' character is used as the separator in the filesystem. You can change that separator from the sources, but then you'll have to rename all the existing maildirs.
