[Dovecot] IMAP --> Creating Folders --> trailing slash

[Andre Hübner]

Hello List,

i use Dovecot  1.0.7 for pop and imap on Suse Linux 10.1. I need a little 
help in understanding something.
If i want to create a folder with outlook express or thunderbird which can 
also create subfolders, then  i have to create these folders with a trailing 
slash.
folders created with trailing slash are in filesystem created als real 
folders, "normal" folders are created as file.
Is it possible to change this behavior? I want to create a folders just by 
typing a name without trailing slash. It should be possible to store 
messages in this folder or create subfolders.
Is there any workaround to achieve this goal?

Thank you
Andre
