Hi,

I am trying to make shared folders work on my server (Ubuntu 18.04, Dovecot 1:2.2.33.2-1ubuntu4.1). Mails are on Maildir++ local filesystem with '.' as layout separator and ALL 100+ users logins fits a template name.lastname, with a dot in the middle.

I set up listescape but no luck. When I test with doveadm:

root@mail:/etc/dovecot/conf.d# doveadm acl debug -u marcio.merlone@a1.ind.br shared-boxes/user/name.lastname doveadm(marcio.merlone@a1.ind.br): Error: Can't open mailbox shared-boxes/user/name.lastname: Character not allowed in mailbox name: '.' root@mail:/etc/dovecot/conf.d#

Is there something I can do besides changing layout separator?

Full dovecot -n output:
