Hi all



I hope to get some help on the separator. I am sure that I hava a wrong
understanding what the separator is.



I thaught the separator is the delimiter within the imap folder structure.



For example:



Imap folder structure: folder Flights, subfolder Lufthansa

If the delimiter is “.” the ls –a command should result:

.Flights                 .Flights.Lufthansa

If delimiter is  “/”

Flights                  Flights/Lufthansa



I tried several delimiters but only the “.” Works.


As far as I know, the folder structure (ls -a) will always* show
.Flights
.Flights.Lufthansa

It is in the IMAP commands that they use the delimiter ("/" in this case):
1 NAMESPACE
* NAMESPACE (("" "/")) NIL NIL
1 OK Namespace completed.

2 SUBSCRIBE Flights/Lufthansa
2 OK Subscribe completed.

Or, if you use "." as the delimiter:
1 NAMESPACE
* NAMESPACE (("" ".")) NIL NIL
1 OK Namespace completed.

2 SUBSCRIBE Flights.Lufthansa
2 OK Subscribe completed.



* there are some Dovecot configurations where you can change that by using layout=fs
