[Dovecot] Children, HasChildren

Hello,

	I'm using dovecot 0.99.10.2 on a debian box. Mailstore is maildir.

If I list the IMAP hierarchy in mutt (debian, 1.5.4+20031024-1) it shows
all my plain mailboxes as having subfolders - while none of them have.

I straced mutt and this is the IMAP exchange (a bit reformatted
for readability):

write(6, "a0001 LSUB \"\" \"%\"\r\n", 19) = 19
read(3, "
* LSUB () \".\" \"Drafts\"
* LSUB () \".\" \"INBOX\"
* LSUB () \".\" \"Sent\"
* LSUB () \".\" \"Trash\"
* LSUB (\\Noselect \\Children) \".\" \"broadband\"
* LSUB (\\Noselect \\Children) \".\" \"cistron\"
* LSUB (\\Noselect \\Children) \".\" \"debian\"
* LSUB (\\Noselect \\Children) \".\" \"ip\"
* LSUB (\\Noselect \\Children) \".\" \"lists\"
* LSUB (\\Noselect \\Children) \".\" \"prive\"
a0001 OK Lsub completed.
", 1024) = 374

Now this is strange - I read RFC3348 and shouldn't \\Children be
\\HasChildren, also shouldn't the plain mailboxes (first four)
be listed with \\HasNoChildren ?

Mike.
