[Dovecot] 1.0.alpha1: Namespaces

[Wolfram Schlich]

Hi,

I'm currently using 1.0.alpha1 without luck regarding a namespace
issue. Maybe it's a general understanding problem on my side, but
let's see :-)

I would like to have my mail stored in Maildir format below
~/.maildir/, which works fine so far.

I want any (sub)folders to be created like this:

	~/.maildir/
		/cur
		/new
		/tmp
		/.Folder/
			/cur
			/new
			/tmp
			/.Subfolder/
				/cur
				/new
				/tmp

BUT ;) Dovecot seems to disregard my namespace settings:

--8<--[ /etc/dovecot.conf ]--8<--
default_mail_env = maildir:~/.maildir:INDEX=MEMORY
namespace private {
	separator = /
#	prefix =
#	location = maildir:~/.maildir
	inbox = yes
	hidden = no
}
--8<--

Every new (sub)folder I create is stored as

	~/.maildir/.Folder
	resp.
	~/.maildir/.Folder.Subfolder

in the filesystem.

Are namespaces the right way?
Is it possible at all?

Thanks in advance.
