You mean it won't list anything, even if I have a mailbox (not a namespace) named foo ?
Anyway, I wasn't thinking about list = no for the default namespace but about
hidden = yes. The default in the conf file is list = yes and hidden = no : why
not list = yes and hidden = yes (because of the "why advertise a namespace
(hidden = no) which is listable (list=yes) anyway" argument) ?
