dovecot - Sep 2008 - filename format question

Hello,

Is it possible to configure the filename format in dovecot?
For example, to change from "unique,W=size:2,FLAGS" to
"unique,size.hostname:2,FLAGS_unique2"?

Thanks in advance.

There's no config option for it, but it's theoretically possible to do 
just about anything. Generally, though, the format of those filenames 
is defined by the Maildir standard. Changing the filename as you 
suggest would likely break other mail programs that might access those 
Maildir folders.

I suppose the question is: why would you want to change that?

My company's current system (unfortunally) uses that non-standard format.
The MTA writes in that format.

I guess it would require a patch then?

tks.
