Ok, it *is* possible to create Maildir folders with dots in them. $ maildirmake -f test\.ing Maildir $# $ dir Maildir/.test.ing/ total 32 drwx------ 6 me me 4096 2008-05-27 20:00 ./ drwx-w---- 88 me me 4096 2008-05-27 19:59 ../ - -rw-r--r-- 1 me me 43 2008-05-27 20:00 courierimapacl drwx------ 2 me me 4096 2008-05-27 20:01 courierimapkeywords/ - -rw-r--r-- 1 me me 84 2008-05-27 20:01 courierimapuiddb drwx------ 2 me me 4096 2008-05-27 20:01 cur/ - -rw------- 1 me me 0 2008-05-27 19:59 maildirfolder drwx------ 2 me me 4096 2008-05-27 19:59 new/ drwx------ 2 me me 4096 2008-05-27 20:01 tmp/ The Python IMAP library sees that the test.ing folder has no children, but Icedove/Tbird doesn't handle it correctly.
