mentions that the filestructur doesn?t change. This means I will get the same
problems when using shared boxes with email adresses as usernames. I definitly
need to change to maildir:~/Maildir:LAYOUT=fs

that correct? Is dsync is the way to go?

schema (without dots in it) and advise the clients to change their credentials?
