[Dovecot] Ampersand in Folder names causing folders to disappear?
Hi All,
Dovecot 1.0.rc7
Not sure if this is a problem with Outlook, or with Dovecot, or to do with encoding in Linux.
Whenever a user enters an ampersand into an IMAP folder name, it dissapears from outlook. These folders appear on the ext3 filesystem as &- for example
drwx------ 5 mailusers mailusers 4096 2006-10-10 17:54 .INBOX.Networks.London Networks.NDCs.WH&-P joint working
Any pointers or previous experience anyone has of this would be very gratefully received.
Regards, Mark

Don't use ampersands in file or foldernames; they are reserved characters in Windows (used to signify what character is the "shortcut" key) and cause frequent headaches like this...

Thankyou John, I thought something like this may be the case!
