Hi all,

does anybody here use MacOS (Catalina) Mail, who can confirm that subfolders 
(i.e. folders inside folders) work for them?

It seems that I cannot create/access Maildir subfolders at all. Subfolders 
created in Mail show up as '.folder\2esubfolder' on disk, suggesting that Apple 
Mail is URL-coding the dot separator before it passes it onto Dovecot. No such 
translation takes place when interpreting the IMAP tree though, resulting in 
subfolders rendered as plain entries with the dot separator preserved.

Subfolders can be created from elsewhere (SoGO, Roundube, Thunderbird) just 
fine and work here just fine, suggesting that all is well in terms of Dovecot 
configuration. Subfolders created here though show up as a proper hierarchy in 
Apple Mail, but their contents is not displayed, so the user thinks the 
subfolder is empty.

This definitely used to work fine in the past.

Running 2.3.10.1 as part of the Mailcow suite.
