Hello, we just start moving a large number of mailboxes to a new dovecot
server with dovecot 2.0.9 (from CentOS) and sdbox as mailbox type. We
use imapsync so there is no issue with mailbox type conversion.
However, in test runs I noted that some mail folders,e.g. with dots in
them, could not be transferred; dovecot says
Couldn't create folder [7.8) Personnel] from [7.8) Personnel]: 106 NO Character
not allowed in mailbox name: '.'
We have the separator "/" defined for our only namespace so the dot
should not be an issue!?
I tried to use listescape but either the plugin is not loading (how can
I verify this?) or it does not escape the dot in the mailbox name.
The listescape settings are the defaults:
namespace {
separator = /
(...)
}
mail_plugins = $mail_plugins listescape
plugin {
listescape_char = "\\"
}
What am I doing wrong? How can I make dots in mailboxes possible?
Best regards,
Jakob Curdes
