This is a very nasty mess. If there are some ancient clients like pine or whatever we used on vt100 in the 90th that need broken LIST command, there should be a workaround setting for that. But currently, we use a workaround setting to get the expected standard behavior, thats really bad.

Well, the guy who designed IMAP standard thinks the Dovecot/UW-IMAP LIST behavior is correct. I'd point you to a thread in imap-protocol mailing list but I can't find archives in web for year 2003.
I'll probably do something about this, but not before v2.1..
