1.5 did not have altnamespace, it was always INBOX.Trash etc.

What exactly is the problem with having \Noinferiors set on INBOX?  In 
altnamespace, it does not have any subfolders. Ie, if I have 
user/jtampli and user/jtampli/test, that will show up as INBOX and test, 
and test is not a child of INBOX.  What client has a problem with this 
arrangement?
