[Dovecot] Maildir folder separator

[Mikko Kortelainen]

I wouldn't say that. If people want to sort their mail by making a 
folder for each sender they have a lot of correspondence with, creating 
a folder named 'mikko.kortelainen at techelp.fi' is a lot more intuitive 
than 'mikko_kortelainen at techelp_fi'. For you or me it probably wouldn't 
matter, but I'm talking about normal users here...
