It makes Pine moderately happy at last. It might still be better to respond as it expects to the LIST "" ~/mail/ command.
Best Wishes, Chris
It seems to me that Outlook Express 6 (on XP SP2 plus, I think, all recommended patches) is behaving in a similar way to Pine, trying 'LIST "" "~/mail"' followed by 'CREATE "" "~/mail/"' I've tried to implement what may work for 'LIST "" "<namespace>"' :- --- dovecot-1.0-stable.orig/src/imap/cmd-list.c Fri Mar 18 20:00:44 2005 +++ dovecot-1.0-stable/src/imap/cmd-list.c Thu Mar 31 16:16:38 2005 @@ -107,7 +107,8 @@ name_str = t_str_new(256); while ((list = mail_storage_mailbox_list_next(ctx->list_ctx)) != NULL) { str_truncate(name_str, 0); - str_append(name_str, ctx->ns->prefix); + if (!(ctx->ns->hidden && ctx->lsub)) + str_append(name_str, ctx->ns->prefix); str_append(name_str, list->name); if (ctx->ns->sep != ctx->ns->real_sep) { @@ -366,7 +367,8 @@ concept which probably no other client uses than Pine.

The last hunk attempts to return the namespace for any 'LIST "" "<namespace>"' command. It seems to work for me for both PC-Pine and OE6. I'm surprised nobody else has had this problem. Is no-one else using folder prefixes together with hidden namespaces in Dovecot-1.0?
