Tried "everything" – including, but not limited to the instructions on seeseekey.net (/archive/110360), but creating a folder named one.two in Thunderbird still results in the creation of a folder one with a subfolder two. The same goes for one/two even if I try to set the separator to something else than "/". If possible, I would like to allow at least "." characters in folder names, one of the reasons being that I'm about to migrate a Windows based mail server setup (hMailServer) with a couple of accounts with quite a number of existing folders already containing dots in their names. It's not that it's hailing errors or something, it is as if I hadn't changed anything at all. For testing new changes in dovecot.conf and/or 10-mail.conf/20-imap.conf, I not only made sure to service dovecot restart after every new attempt, but I always created a new mailbox to test with after making changes, too. (This is Ubuntu Server 16.04 LTS with an ISPConfig 3.1 setup according to the respective "Perfect Server" manual – which was just the right incentive last year that I needed to finally start a long overdue, extensive move to Linux, mostly from OS/2-eComStation, quite a bit from Windows, too, and I'm really, really happy I did. I'm nearly through with everything and I'm happy as can be...) Any ideas as to where to look further in this case? Cheers, Etc
Why do you think so? From the dovecot website (wiki.dovecot.org, /Plugins/Listescape), one should think it was. Actually one would think it was a piece of cake ;-)
My mistake then. I've also tried back in the days to use it, with no go. let us know if you managed to make it work.
