What disadvantages are when using '/' as namespace separator?
IMHO: none. ;-) It depends, as always - YMMV.
Why is '.' default (at least in .deb packages) if it is worse then '/' ?
I assume: for historical reasons.
Doesn't it, in the end, all come to translation from IMAP names
(user,folder) to OS filesystem names within dovecot (at some benchmark
tests expense) ? :-)
No, as there's a difference between "namespace / hierarchy" (mailbox name)
and "layout" separators (OS filesystem).
