I've some questions concerning new maildir support in Thunderbird 12 on ubuntu.
I switched to maildir.
I converted some mails from mbox using
Code: Select all
mb2md -s "/path/" -R -d "/path/"
My problem is, doing so, the sub-folders are generated with a dot at the beginning of the folder name.
Question:
Why does thunderbird not show folders with leading dot in name.
Aren't that usual names processed by imap servers. Or is this maildir+ format - I'm no expert in this subject.
So, what is the best solution for me:
delete all dots per hand?
is there a switch in Thunderbird config to show names with leading dot?
Will there be a release in near future that can handle leading dots in mail folder names?
Other work around?
Best regards and thanks for your help.
