[Dovecot] Subfolder in Maildir

[Pat Hastings]

I think most imap servers place all folders under inside the Maildir
folder on the same level as cur, tmp and new. Nested folders are then
implemented using dots so you might have:
	.Grandparent
	.Grandparent.parent
	.grandparent.parent.child

This would give you a three deep nested folder as viewed through imap
but the files structure would remain flat.

n.b. might be wrong - have not been using dovecot long.

Subject: [Dovecot] Subfolder in Maildir

Hello,

We have installed a brand new Dovecot because it seems very interesting
as
an IMAP server. We created a mailbox for a test user and we succeeded in
copying some mails into it. 
However making subfolders does not work. The only folders we can create
are
in the root, next to the INBOX that is. We thought Maildir does support
subfolders (as opposed to mbox), are we wrong here?
Our Dovecot version is 1.0.b8_1. 

Bart
