<br>
And it says:
<br>
<br>
A commonly used separator is '/'. It probably causes the least
amount of trouble with different IMAP clients
<br>
<br>
And I already had problems using '.' as a namespace separator.

Dear dovecot list,
<br>
<br>
I'm using Maildir as mailbox format.
<br>
<br>
Is there any recommendation for the namespace hierarchy
separator?
<br>
<br>
Currently I didn't set any. So it is the default of dot '.'

this should work.

Please be aware that imapsync does not migrate all data. It
loses UID and POP3UIDL information. If you plan to keep on using
the same domain, then you need to instruct your end users to
invalidate the local caches on their devices.
<br>
With most client applications means removing and readding
account and redownloading all emails. (or atleast headers)

This would cause similar caching problems on end user devices.
