Nested IMAP Mail folders with the Dovecot mail server
Authored by: BillCole on Sep 07, '07 10:47:40AM
This is a reckless hint. The "problem" is not universal, but rather is configuration issue with some installations of Dovecot and some configurations of Mail.app. There is a fairly high likelihood that if you have the described problem with Mail.app but not with other clients using the same server, you will break the other clients by performing this "fix" and you may not even get success with Mail.app. BEWARE!

Nested IMAP Mail folders with the Dovecot mail server
Authored by: ClarkGoble on Sep 09, '07 08:31:06PM

I can but say it is a common problem and, after doing considerable Googling there were no good suggestions. I found this one and have tested the configuration with quite a few mail clients to make sure there were no "gotchas." I also discussed this at a few forums like Ars soliciting feedback.

As best I can make out it is do to this version of Dovecot using a different separator from most other IMAP servers.
