[Dovecot] How to remove leading dots from folder names with Layout=FS
We are looking to move to Dovecot from a customized Courier implementation.? Our current format is maildir-like. It's basically a filesystem layout...hierarchies are identified by real directories/subdirectories.? Our folder names do have a leading dot and for reasons related to other systems, we do not want to change our format at all.The Layout=FS is very close to working for us.? The? problem we have is the folder names are coming back with the leading dot to the clients.? Is there a way through configuration to have the leading dot removed?So, just to clarify, under our maildir home, we have directories (folders) for example: .Trash, .Sent-Mail, etc.? Then, any child folders would be resident in the physical subdirectories.? Like I said, things appear to work ok, except our List is coming back with .Trash, .Sent-Mail, etc....we would like simply Trash, Sent-Mail, etc.Thanks,...Tony?
