AFAIK, the '@' is already a valid character in the Cyrus mailbox namespace.
"Taken from an email to the cyrus list:
cyrus-imapd-2.0.12 - imap/mboxname.c - line #187:
I believe this is what you're looking for...

-David Fuchs"
Technically, the '.' is already a legal character in mailbox names, but it does
something funky (I don't recall quite what it is/was), but the patch curbs that
behaviour.
HD> Thanks a lot (especially for answering so fast)
Np. I've been doing a lot of research into this lately. You caught me at a

Btw, I have to agree with the LDAP recommendation.
