So basically, I went from 

  1.2 with 
    #separator = 

-> can you confirm the the client should use "." then ?

to

  2.8.0 with

  namespace {
    type = private
    separator = "/"

and now back to

  
  2.8.0 with

  namespace {
    type = private
    separator = "."
   

And Thunderbird clients seem very confused about it :

For instance, rawlogs say :

# grep -i foobar *    
20101223-133841-34429.out:* LSUB () "." "AA.BB.CC.foobar"
20101223-133841-34429.out:* LSUB () "." "AA.BB.MTA.foobar"
20101223-133841-34429.out:* LSUB () "." "AA.BB.MTA.foobar Curie"
20101223-135517-38267.out:* LSUB () "." "AA.BB.CC.foobar"
20101223-135517-38267.out:* LSUB () "." "AA.BB.MTA.foobar"
20101223-135517-38267.out:* LSUB () "." "AA.BB.MTA.foobar Curie"
20101223-135556-38406.in:5 select "AA/BB/CC/foobar"
20101223-135556-38406.out:5 NO Invalid mailbox name: AA/BB/CC/foobar

Restarting Thunderbird doesn't fix the problem for all mailboxes, it seems to
fix one mailbox access at a time. Re-suscribing to the mailbox seems to work as
well, but again one mailbox at a time.
