Is there any way to have dovecot ignore files begining with . in directories that contain mbox formatted mail folders (in addition to the already ignored .imap and .subscriptions)? I've looked in the docs and haven't found anything but perhaps I'm not looking in the right place.

It used to do that by default, but since some clients wanted to use mailbox names automatically that began with dots, I changed it. Dovecot has already too many settings, and I'd rather not add another one for this at least right now.
