Timo et all,

Unfortunately, that did not work.


l list "" *
* LIST (\Noselect \HasChildren) "/" "foo1"
* LIST (\NoInferiors \UnMarked) "/" "foo1/folder1"
* LIST (\Noselect \HasChildren) "/" "iphonemail"
* LIST (\NoInferiors \Marked) "/" "iphonemail/foo1"
* LIST (\NoInferiors \UnMarked) "/" "Sent"
* LIST (\NoInferiors \UnMarked) "/" "Trash"
* LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "INBOX"
* LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "sharedimap/cesupport"
* LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "sharedimap/mimesupport"
* LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "iphonemail/sharedimap/cesupport"
* LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "iphonemail/sharedimap/mimesupport"
l OK List completed.

l list "iphonemail/" *
* LIST (\NoInferiors \Marked) "/" "iphonemail/foo1"
l OK List completed.


So, the shared folders are listed twice when I do not include a prefix 
and neither are shown at all when I do include a prefix.

namespace {
   hidden = yes
   inbox = no
   list = children
   location = maildir:/a1/dove-shared:INDEX=/a2/imap-index/dove-shared/%u
   prefix = iphonemail/sharedimap/
   separator = /
   type = shared
}

I'm assuming I'm testing this correctly and in the best way. :-)

thank you
