Re: problems on folders containing @

why does this give an error?

x create test@test
x NO Invalid mailbox name

Why isn't it allowed at Cyrus that folders contain an @-sign? It was allowed with dovecot and courier-imap and it is possible to create folders with several other characters like Umlauts and spaces. Why is the @-sign blocked?

Well, I'm using "virtualdomains: userid", but that shouldn't keep me from creating folders within the mailbox as it shouldn't interfere with each other.

It seems cyrus doesn't allow folders to contain @ when you're in virtualdomains mode. Obviously things like this might be a bit confusing:

user.blah.xyz@sub@something.com

Though not technically ambiguous. Though commands like this are harder:

. list user.blah* @s*

To interpret a meangingful result from. Maybe Ken can give more explanation as to why.
