How can I make it so my users can not create folders with spaces in
them? Or allow them to create such folders but rewrite them on the
hardrive with a "_" or some other symbol. I have looked threw the wiki
but couldn't find anything about folder name restrictions or folder name
rewriting (rewrite the space to a "_").
Im having problems with some of the expire and compress scripts when it
hits these types of folders.
Is dovecot able to restrict or rewrite the names of imap folders?

As the first break point for that approach: what happens when a user wants to put a real '_' in a name?> Im having problems with some of the expire and compress scripts when it > hits these types of folders.You need to fix those scripts. Breaking because a file or directory name has a space in it is a warning sign about the care taken in a script and it is almost certain that if those scripts don't work with spaces in names, they will also break with other technically achievable names. There's a real chance that the breakage is an exploitable weakness in the scripts, with spaces in names being the most benign attack.
