...the Dovecot IMAP server works with dotted sub directories of Maildir. =
I=0D
did some "quick&dirty" symlinks to resolve this temporarily:=0D

What I am wondering about is:=0D
Is there no other possibility than using some Python script? I mean, it=0D
seems to be a common issue. Maybe it is worth including an option to=0D
"offlineimap" in general that treats ~/Maildir as the default INBOX folde=
r=0D
and its dotted subfolders ~/Maildir/.Sent etc. accordingly.=0D
=0D
Anyway, whatever John's decisions will be ... I am going to try getting a=
=0D
bit more familiar with Python and the provided add-in scripts to have a=0D
somewhat better solution on that than mine. ;-)=0D
