[Dovecot] Cosmetic issue with dots in Maildir folder names
Just a minor cosmetic issue: We use the listescape plugin in order to support "." characters in Maildir++ folder names, and in at least the following case, the escaped representation of the dot character ("\2e") won't be translated back to a "." in messages for the IMAP client:
| 1 SELECT non.existent | 1 NO Mailbox doesn't exist: non\2eexistent
However, SELECTing an existing folder whose name includes a dot works fine, and it also works in other cases, e.g.:
| 2 CREATE does.exist | 2 OK Create completed. | 3 LIST "" does.exist | * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" does.exist | 3 OK List completed.
This is with Dovecot 1.1.3; we use "separator = /" and we've defined REAL_SEP to '.' and VIRTUAL_SEP to '/' in the plugin.

Well .. I guess the plugin could guess that any \2e (and the few other
escapes) in any error string could be converted back, but I don't
think it's really worth the trouble since normally a client wouldn't
ever issue such a command that gives an error..
There's a similar problem also if you're using namespace prefixes.
They're dropped from the error messages. Maybe when I some day manage
to solve that somehow this listescape problem might get solved at the
same time. :)
