dovecot - Mar 2007 - dovecot and pine tab-completion

Hello,

So, I'm migrating from Binc to Dovecot, and one of my users has run 
into an odd complaint/issue. I don't know that it's a Dovecot issue 
necessarily, but maybe the people here know a fix anyway...

The problem is that pine tab-completion now appends a "." to the end 
of folders that have sub-folders. In other words, say the user has 
these folders:

     INBOX
     INBOX.foo
     INBOX.foo.bar

When he types in INBOX.f and hits tab, for some reason Pine completes 
that to:

     INBOX.foo.

Note the "." on the end. This is annoying, because then to get into 
foo he has to hit the delete key first. With the Binc server, the 
delimiter was /, and INBOX/foo/ was a perfectly legitimate folder name 
(so he could just hit return).

Does anyone have any suggestions for how to fix this?

You could change the separator to '/' with namespaces, but Dovecot
doesn't treat "INBOX/foo/" as a valid mailbox name either. So you
can't
get this changed from Dovecot's side without modifying the sources. Or a
plugin might work too.

I think this would be better fixed in Pine, so that if tab+enter is done
it removes the separator.
