[Dovecot] dsync / separator / namespace config-problem

[Jan-Frode Myklebust]

Guess I don't quite get namespaces, but we have the following namespace
configured:

        $ doveconf namespace
        namespace {
                hidden = no
                inbox = yes
                list = yes
                location = 
                prefix = INBOX.
                separator = 
                subscriptions = yes
                type = private
        }

But when I try running dsync it complains:

        $ sudo -u atmail dsync   -u janfr...@tanso.net mirror 
mdbox:/tmp/janfrodeboks
        dsync(atmail): Error: user janfr...@tanso.net: Initialization failed: 
namespace configuration error: list=yes requires prefix=INBOX. to end with 
separator dsync(atmail): Fatal: User init failed

I can fix this by adding "separator = ." to the namespace and dsync is
happy, but is changing this now safe, or will this affect existing clients?
