Sorry for being so dense, but I don't quite get it still. Do you suggest
dropping the trailing dot from prefix=INBOX. ? I.e.
namespace {
inbox = yes
location =
prefix = INBOX
type = private
separator = .
}
when we do the migration to mdbox? And this should work without issues
for both current maildir users, and mdbox users ?
Ideally I don't want to use the . as a separator, since it's causing
problems for our users who expect to be able to use them in folder
names. But I don't understand if I can change them without causing
problems to existing users.. or how these problems will appear to the
users.
