I'm still battling my way through using hidden namespaces to hide the change from UW-IMAP to Dovecot 1.0-stable from my users.

The latest problem is that some (probably many) users have their IMAP folder prefix set to "~/mail" rather than "~/mail/".

I have hidden namespaces with prefixes "~/mail/", "~%u/mail/" and "mail/".

LIST "~/mail" "*"

returns nothing, so I've tried adding another namespace for "~/mail".

Now LIST "~/mail" "*" returns

• LIST (\NoInferiors \UnMarked) "/" "~/mailtest1/test1-2"
• LIST (\NoInferiors \UnMarked) "/" "~/mailtest2"
• LIST (\NoInferiors \UnMarked) "/" "~/mailtest3"

whereas UW-IMAP returns

• LIST (\NoInferiors \UnMarked) "/" ~/mail/test1/test1-2
• LIST (\NoInferiors \UnMarked) "/" ~/mail/test2
• LIST (\NoInferiors \UnMarked) "/" ~/mail/test3

I wonder whether LIST should insert an extra namespace separator in such cases?

Having said that, it seems to work, except it may cause problems with folder subscriptions, which I've had to hack in order for them to be compatible with UW-IMAP (i.e. to store them as "~/mail/test1" etc.)

Best Wishes, Chris
