Once you've moved to '/' separator, it's possible that users create mailboxes with '.' characters. So you can't just always keep converting all '.' to '/', you need to do it only once for each user. You could create a plugin that simply: 1) Check if subscriptions.converted file exists, if not continue: 2) Convert '.' to '/' in subscriptions and recreate it 3) Create subscriptions.converted file Or something like that.
