Ok, this seems to work, (I thought I tried it before.. but now 
it works. :)


Another Question to this Option:

  #   tb-extra-mailbox-sep:
  #     With mbox storage a mailbox can contain either mails or submailboxes,
  #     but not both. Thunderbird separates these two by forcing server to
  #     accept '/' suffix in mailbox names in subscriptions list.


I thought this is not needed because I use mdbox. But mbox here 
means also mdbox and sdbox?

Also "With mbox storage a mailbox can contain either mails or 
submailboxes, but not both" is only correct for mbox? In mdbox 
this is possible.

This description should contain a litte bit more info for 
mbox/sdbox/mdbox?



Should I use all 3 workarounds if I don't know which clients are 
in use?


LAYOUT=fs and mdbox


Regards, Mike
