Package: dovecot-imapd
Version: 1:1.0.5-1
Severity: normal


creating imap (sub)folder through email client (evolution, icedove/thunderbird)
containing dots ('.') in folder name(example "a.b.c.d"), confuse dovecot.
email client show folder HIERARCHY a/b/c/d, and complain about non-existing 
folder
a, a/b, a/b/c  (folder a/b/c/d exists).

dovecot must not assume that  folder names are correct, and must sanitize
its input. 
dovecot use maildir++ format, which use dots for subfolder
separation
