It is possible that Dovecot has changed its standard configuration since the presets were developed (someone with some familiarity with Dovecot could chime in), but given that we don't get reports about this problem, it seems it might be a custom or one-off configuration issue on your system. The default folder prefix value isn't something that is going to be "non-optimal" when set some other way - it's not a performance setting. If INBOX. works for you, and ALL folder operations work as expected, then that's what you should use. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Apps built with the Adobe(R) Flex(R) framework and Flex Builder(TM) are powering Web 2.0 with engaging, cross-platform capabilities.
