in all versions of cyrus-imapd AFTER 2.0.16 you can use the imapd.conf setting of 'unixhierarchysep: yes'
that will change the mail folders from being called 'user.johnsmith' to 'user/johnsmith' so then you can use dots in the name... like [EMAIL PROTECTED] would be 'user/john.smith'... note that the folder on the drive is saved as /var/spool/imap/j/user/john^smith/ Jeff > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Carsten > Burghardt > Sent: Wednesday, May 22, 2002 10:47 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: "." in foldername > > > Hi, > > I noticed that some MUA's can create folders with a dot (.) in > the name and > some not (they create subfolders as a result).
