I vote for a configuration file option. I'm not sure how feasible it would be to change the default at this point since it would break everyone's existing installations.
The Maildir++ documentation at http://www.inter7.com/courierimap/README.maildirquota.html shows an example of a colon being the separator:
"Can folders have subfolders, defined in a recursive fashion? The answer is no. If you want to have a client with a hierarchy of folders, emulate it. Pick a hierarchy separator character, say ":". Then, folder foo/bar is subdirectory .foo:bar."
Oh. I was sure that it had said that '.' character was the required separator. Guess I just assumed that because of Courier. So, since the spec doesn't require it to be '.', I could add a configuration option for it. Not sure if I'll do it before v1.0..
In any case the separator that is sent to clients can be different than the real separator in disk. That way you could use some weird character in the disk, but show user/client a nice standard '/' separator.
