offlineimap, dots and folders (problem with Gmail)

[proxym]

OK.
This problem is solved:
1. add ":LAYOUT=fs" at the end of "mail_location" in dovecot config.
2. add "sep = /" instead of default "sep = ." in offlineimap config in
local Maildir section.
3. double restarting of Novell Evolution mail client, which is
configured to using local imap server dovecot.
