Using an IMAPdir depot, the '.' character can be used regardlessly in a mailbox name. The actual mailbox will be stored like this: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/Maildir> ls -ald INBOX*A drwxr-xr-x 5 andreaha users 120 2004-07-18 10:07 INBOX\.A In IMAP, this is displayed as a regular dot, so the mailbox would be called INBOX.A and not INBOX/A or INBOX\\/A. But with Maildir++, nothing like this is specified, so the typical Maildir++ server would interpret the \. sequence as a legal character followed by the delimiter. Of course, this works fine, but it doesn't give the same semantics. So for IMAPdir, just go ahead. But with Maildir++, it can't be done.
