Hmm, this is what I have:

 

# 2.3.19.1 (9b53102964): /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf

# Pigeonhole version 0.5.19 (4eae2f79)

# OS: Linux 6.1.0-10-amd64 x86_64 Debian 12.1 nfs

 

namespace inbox {

  inbox = yes

  location =

  mailbox Drafts {

    special_use = \Drafts

  }

  mailbox Junk {

    special_use = \Junk

  }

  mailbox Sent {

    special_use = \Sent

  }

  mailbox "Sent Messages" {

    special_use = \Sent

  }

  mailbox Trash {

    special_use = \Trash

  }

  prefix =

  separator = .

}

 

plugin {

  listescape_char = /

}

 

mail_plugins = " listescape"

 

I see the plugin being loaded when the imap session starts

still no go

 

a select "TEST/BLAH"

a NO [CANNOT] Invalid mailbox name: Name must not have '/' characters (0.001 + 
0.000 secs).

Is this possible at all ? 

  

I am trying to import a PST file and it has a slash in the folder name. 

Dovecot errors out with : 

  

APPEND "Caixa de Entrada_VIDA/S1" (\Seen) 

NO [CANNOT] Invalid mailbox name: Name must not have '/' characters 

  

My namespace separator is the dot and I configured the listescape plugin to 

escape / but it still doesn't work. 

  

The listescape documentation says: 

  

The / character is disallowed on POSIX systems. 

  

This plugin allows you to use all of these characters, as long as the 

virtual separator (i.e. what is set by the separator setting and used as 

such by the IMAP protocol) is changed to something else, which means that 

the plugin does not make it possible to use the virtual separator in folder 

names. 

  

  

So it seems that as long as I use the dot, it should work ? Except it 

doesn't... 

  

How can I do this import ? 

  

Thank you!

Should work by just loading listescape plugin and not using / as namespace 
separator.
