You loose the ability to have a / in mailbox names and gain the ability to
have a . in mailbox names :)
Another issue is that if unixhierarchy is true, plus addresses
will look like this:
username+directory/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
instead of
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Does anyone know if any mail servers have a problem with a '/' in
the left hand side of an email address? On my IMAP Service
Providers page in this section:
<http://www.ii.com/internet/messaging/imap/isps/#chooseID>
I say:
--- begin quote ---
the user-name part of an email address must be less than or equal
to 64 characters and cannot contain any of the following
characters:
< > ( ) / , ; : @ "
--- begin quote ---
I'm wondering two things: 1] Is what I wrote about user-name
restrictions true? and 2] Are there some mail servers that don't
like '/' anywhere in the left hand side of an email address?
Any thoughts about this are welcome,
Thanks,
Nancy
