The maildir on the server is itself the inbox and contains a
(filesystem) subfolder ".science-ml".  If I remember correctly this is
CourierIMAP server.  However, my foldername translation functions
replace "/" by "." when doing remote -> local, I think the answer to
your question is "yes, /".  If this is wrong, why did it work with
6.5.2.1, were there any changes/fixes on the foldertrans?

Cheers,
Thomas
