Dovecot 1.1+ (current version is 1.1.1) adds the "layout=fs" option to
mail location. Setting this option will cause Maildir to create its
directories without the leading periods in the directory names (e.g.
~/Maildir/directory/ instead of ~/Maildir/.directory/). (See
http://dovecot.org/pipermail/dovecot/2008-July/031995.html for q&a on the
Dovecot mailing list).
I have used Dovecot to replace all of my bloated PSTs from Windows, which
makes a huge difference in Time Machine backups, and makes my local mail
available to both my MacOS and (virtual) WinXP clients. Because of the
leading periods in the directory names, Spotlight does not index maildir
directories, which means that all my locally stored mail is not indexed.
This frustrates one of the key advantages to using Maildir on a localhost
IMAP server as a mail repository.
I am not a coder, otherwise I would offer my assistance in upgrading the
port. Hopefully you wizards running these things can accomplish it
without too much trouble!
I really appreciate the hard work everyone does in making all the UNIX
goodness available to us mere Mac mortals.
