Feature request: Allow custom format for maildir filename

[asdf8dfafjk]

Currently a filename like 1674828985_3.57912.HOSTNAME,U=244,FMD5=844bb96d088d057aa1b32ac1fbc67b56:2, is both unwieldy, and also has restricted character : which disallows syncing this file to windows or android. Please consider allowing a custom filename format.

Ideally I'd like all parts to be identifiable in the default format, just like FMD5 is clearly labelled as such.

Also the current format includes the hostname of the machine which is not convenient when offlineimap is used from different machines to fetch emails and then these emails are synced on a backup which is stored on a common server.

The filenames should remain stable.

👍 I agree with interoperability, of the default format for the maildir filenames, between OS windows, android, linux, mac, etc.

So I recently learnt that the filename is actually a standard: https://cr.yp.to/proto/maildir.html

Hopefully there is a way to change colon though :-)

Yes, it is a standard. About your question about colon, please, check the manpage and search for maildir-windows-compatible = yes This flag solves it? Regards kix
