That's a good point, you can't create a mailbox/subfolder that has a slash in it. I've found, however, that the ability to have a dot outweighs the loss of the slash. If you want you could simply edit the patch, it's basically a unified diff so you shouldn't have any problem going through it

How does this work of you want to create a folder with a '/' in the name? Sounds like we've still got a reserved character that can't be in folder names. David Fuchs wrote: > > Alfred, > > I created the patch for cyrus-imapd version 2.0.11. It works on 2.0.12 > as well, which is the
