Hi Timo, hi all,

we want to use the "lazy_expunge" plugin (from dovecot 2.1.10) and had configured it in a test environemnt like described in "http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Plugins/Lazyexpunge" (1 namespace)

There are some subfolders from "INBOX" (like "INBOX/SPAM") in a "maildir++" configuration. All actions on first level directories ".INBOX", ."Sent" or ".Archives" are working as expected.

If there is an expunge activity on e.g. ".INBOX.SPAM" directory we get an error message in dovecot log: Sep 26 12:27:55 imap(testuser): Error: lazy_expunge: Couldn't open expunge mailbox: Character not allowed in mailbox name: '.'

What can we do or change to make it work?

sorry didnt tested lazy_plugin yet

try

http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Plugins/Listescape

Examples

Allow '.' characters with Maildir++ layout when virtual hierarchy separator is changed to '/':

mail_plugins = $mail_plugins listescape

namespace private { separator = / inbox = yes }

plugin { # The default escape character is '\', but you can change it. # Note that even here the expansion of % takes place, thus you need to # use "%%" if you want to have the % sign as the escape character. #listescape_char = "\\" }

or change your general namespace settings to get it work , might be better choice
