I did set up an account with '.' as separator and created some folders. First mail.app succeeded in creating test root folder but when I tried to create subfolder 'test2' under 'test' Mail.app issued CREATE "test/test2" folder instead of "test.test2". And then failed to list the created folder completely. Everything worked if I did set separator to '/' Sami

I had to change the hierarchy separator to a dot. So exactly the opposite! -F -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I did set up an account with '.' as separator and created some folders.Are you ignoring the advice in Dovecot to leave its jeorachu separator field alone? There's a difference between the IMAP separator and the hierarchy separator, and you should not change (or set) the latter at all. -- Oh, he's just like any other man, only more so.
