Some of my users us pine and use a special option in pine: saved-msg-name-rule=by-from
This tries to create mailboxes with names like john.smith .
They have a lot of mail and mailboxes and moving to a new mailserver shouldn't have to restrict their choices. Currently our courier is set to have a an imap mailbox delimiter of '.' .
The documentation seems pretty sparse. After a long search I found the documentation at the end of this email.
My question is this: To change the mailbox delimiter to say ":" is there a configuration option somewhere in the config files? (/etc/courier/imapd and /etc/maildroprc) Do I have to recompile the packages to change this? I guess I need to change maildrop, courier-imap, and squirrel-webmail. Sqwebmail has config options. So what about courier-imap and maildrop?

Folders are created as subdirectories under the main Maildir. The name of the subdirectory always starts with a period. For example, a folder named "Important" will be a subdirectory called ".Important". You can't have subdirectories that start with two periods.
A Maildir++ client ignores anything in the main Maildir that starts with a period, but is not a subdirectory.
Each subdirectory is a fully-fledged Maildir of its own, that is you have .Important/tmp, .Important/new, and .Important/cur. Everything that applies to the main Maildir applies equally well to the subdirectory, including automatically cleaning up old files in tmp. A Maildir++ enhancement is that a message can be moved between folders and/or the main Maildir simply by moving/renaming the file (into the cur subdirectory of the destination folder). Therefore, the entire Maildir++ must reside on the same filesystem.
Within each subdirectory there's an empty file, maildirfolder. Its existence tells the mail delivery agent that this Maildir is a really a folder underneath a parent Maildir++.
...
Can folders have subfolders, defined in a recursive fashion? The answer is no. If you want to have a client with a hierarchy of folders, emulate it. Pick a hierarchy separator character, say ":". Then, folder foo/bar is subdirectory .foo:bar.
