what about, let the user create such folders
http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Plugins/Listescape
Thanks Robert - I did see that and considered asking about it...
So, would this be as easy as just adding:
mail_plugins = $mail_plugins listescape
namespace private {
separator = $
inbox = yes
}
Or whatever I want to use for the separator (I was thinking maybe either
the tilde (~) or the backtick (`), since I don't think anyone would ever
use one of those...
Also - if someone *did* use whatever character was specified - what
would happen? The same thing as happens now if they use a '.' or '/'?
Thanks again
Charles
