/var/mail/virtual/users/some/Maildir/dovecot-acl-list too!
Is there a workaround that does not involve rebuilding every user's
Maildir with backslash as a separator?
You don't need to rebuild anything on Dovecot's side to change
separator. Just change it. Clients may become confused about that
though.
The only other possibility would be to change '.' in usernames to
something else. Maybe auth_username_translation could help there.
In any case having '.' both in usernames and as hierarchy separator just
isn't going to work.
Ah, I understand, thanks.
Has anybody got any tips on migrating IMAP separators? Ideally I'd be
able to migrate users incrementally. Is there a way to specify the
separator per-user? I can't see a way to do it with a postlogin script
or userdb.
http://wiki2.dovecot.org/UserDatabase/ExtraFields shows a namespace
setting, but it seems that the namespace is in version 1.2 format and my
namespaces look like:
namespace {
type = private
separator = .
prefix =
inbox = yes
}
namespace {
type = shared
separator = .
prefix = Users.%%n.
location =
maildir:/var/mail/virtual/users/%%n/Maildir/:INDEX=~/shared/%%u
subscriptions = no
list = children
}
namespace {
type = public
separator = .
prefix = Shared.
location = maildir:/var/mail/virtual/public:INDEX=~/public
subscriptions = no
}
Thanks,
Ian
