Q: OSX Lion Server, Dovecot Listescape Plugin - DOT in Mailbox Name
If you want to create a folder with a dot, for example foo.bar, dovecot does not allow it by default.
Listescape plugin makes it possible to do that.
Listescape is already there, you just need to acitvate it as followed:
edit /etc/dovecot/conf.d/20-imap.conf
add listescape to the line:
mail_plugins = $mail_plugins imap_quota imap_zlib imap_fts urlauth listescape
edit /etc/dovecot/conf.d/15-lda.conf
add listescape to the line:
mail_plugins = $mail_plugins push_notify listescape
edit /etc/dovecot/conf.d/90-plugin.conf
add lisescape char:
plugin {
listescape_char = "\\"
fts = sk
}
edit /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-mail.conf
add a namespace for privat with separator "^"
namespace private {
separator = ^
prefix =
inbox = yes
}
Restart Mail services and that's it.
Have Fun!
