dovecot - Jul 2012 - Remove leading and trailing spaces from folder names?

Hi!

Anybody got a doveadm script which can remove leading and trailing
spaces from folder names?

Right now we're migrating mailboxes from dovecot -> Exchange, and
Exchange cannot handle leading and trailing spaces in Folder names.

Caveat that it might cause some wierd symptoms with clients, why not 
attack the dovecot mail backend and rename folders + sed the 
subscription files?

Something like "find | rename"

Good luck

Hi Wojciech,
this is a free world, so if anyone want to give help
why he shouldnt, of course its a little off topic in the dovecot list
talking to exchange, but at last ,it doesnt hurt anyone,
as long it gets no flood theme, anyway ,small knowings other
servers is always fine, we dont live in a dovecot postfix world
and gnu is no substitute for religion, the main goal of every tec mail
list is to solve tec problems.
At last ,i think pure M$ lovers arent booking this list that much
that you need to be afraid of them *g
