[Dovecot] Namespace "hidden" option not working?

Sure.  However, if only one has the INBOX, then doesn't this rather 
break the whole point of having the backwards compatible access to the 
INBOX?  Am I missing the point?

Possibly.

Actually I decided that personally I prefer to have everything under 
"INBOX.", because all the clients I commonly use then nest the folders 
under INBOX (which I quite like).  However, OE and Outlook are too dumb 
to figure this out and it's pointless telling all our customers to set 
the folder prefix when we could just support it working without needing 
to change anything...


Anyway, the original question still stands!  How come all my folders 
from both namespaces are being listed??
