The dot (unix like names) was a Cyrus Imap problem as I recall.  The 
elimination of it in Xerxes is just a programming choice and can be fixed by 
editing the input normalization routine tables.  I am not certain what Imap 
will then do with it.  Try it and let us know what happens.  I'll put in on 
our list to try as well.

See above about normalization.  We do some sanity checking to prevent 
certain types of MySql attacks which can be contained in the user name and 
password.

I'm not certain that I understand your objective.  We have changed the MySql 
database several times to support different features.
