dovecot - Feb 2007 - mbox and dual-use folders?

Feature request: please can we have support for messages stored in mbox 
files, but folders containing both messages and folders. I think this 
could be done for a folder called e.g. dovecot-list by having an mbox 
file called dovecot-list and a directory called dovecot-list.folder (or 
whatever, says he handwaving away name clashes which can be worked 
around like they are in maildirs). This may be a subset or variant of 
http://wiki.dovecot.org/FeatMboxMaildir

Cheers,

John.

In CVS HEAD there are beginnings of the code to support different
directory layouts for the mailbox formats, so yes, that'll happen some
day.
