I too then am an idiot. Is the empty namespace the "preferred" way? As in, 

# default namespace
namespace private {
        separator = .
        inbox = yes
        hidden = no
        prefix = INBOX.
}


should really "almost always and is really suggested" be:

# default namespace
namespace private {
        separator = .
        inbox = yes
        hidden = no
        prefix = 
}

A while back I was able to get ACLs working so I started using INBOX. as the 
prefix. I thought it would "help" email clients by having all namespaces have 
a prefix.

I need to re-read this thread but is a blank namespace required? If it is 
then "inbox = yes" should enforce that? Maybe I am getting confused because I 
have been thinking about... I have an Outlook 2003 user who after I started 
using "INBOX." says he must use "INBOX." as the root prefix in his account 
preferences/options and this means he can't see any shared folders. No other 
email clients have this problem so I ignore him.
