[Dovecot] Seperator

Hi all

I hope to get some help on the separator. I am sure that I hava a wrong understanding what the separator is.

I thaught the separator is the delimiter within the imap folder structure.

For example:

Imap folder structure: folder Flights, subfolder Lufthansa

If the delimiter is “.” the ls –a command should result:

.Flights .Flights.Lufthansa

If delimiter is “/”

Flights Flights/Lufthansa

I tried several delimiters but only the “.” Works.

My dovecot.conf file:

mail_location = maildir:/vmail/%d/%n

namespace {

    type = private

    separator = /

    location = maildir:/vmail/%d/%n

    inbox = yes

    subscriptions = yes

}

I would appreciate any help

Mit freundlichem Gruß
