The problem iirc, is that different file and operating systems support different 
characters and have different rules. Courier's maildirs make use of characters that 
aren't supported on windows. Your best bet would be rsync support (or hacking it 
yourself) to do a regex replace on destination file names to strip or replace illegal 
(from the destination of perspective) characters...

OR to hack courier and stop it at the source... there might be a constant defined 
somewhere for the "separator" character (i.e. the , ?)

just a few thoughts.
