Here is the copy of my mail to the kde-pim ML:
The problem is that it is not straightforward to support both the KMail
style maildir layout and the dovecot style Maildir++.
For the following structure:
Folder1
Folder2
Folder3
KMail(1&2) uses this:
Folder1
cur
new
tmp
.Folder1.directory - contains the subfolders of Folder1
cur
new
tmp
Folder2
cur
new
tmp
.Folder2.directory - subfolder for Folder2
Folder3
Dovecot would need this as:
Folder1
cur
new
tmp
.Folder2
cur
new
tmp
.Folder2.Folder3
cur
new
tmp
As you can see they are completely different. In dovecot style sub-
subdirectories are not layed out as such on the file system.
Sincerely I'd just keep the current layout as it is and not bother with
"real" subdirectories.
This will make bug 289183 a wontfix and will require user intervention to
import completely the folder structure.
