Teemu, Thank you!!! Quoting the "$" fixed the syntax issue. And I moved the namespace to the root level of the configuration, per your advice. Now, the only problem I see is that when I attempt to create a new folder beneath the Inbox (whether it contains a "." or not), the folder appears at the root-level of the IMAP account, at the same level as the Inbox itself. The folder name is "INBOX.My Folder". Also, if I try to select the folder and view its contents, I receive the error, "Mailbox doesn't exist: INBOX.My Folder". But this may simply be a product of a misconfiguration on my part. For what it's worth, this seems to happen regardless of the separator that I define in the namespace. Do I need to change something else in the Dovecot config for this to work the way that I'm intending? Thanks again for your invaluable assistance, -Ben
