Hello Andrew,

AM> For maximum compatibility and ease of use, I'd recommend setting
AM> altnamespace: yes in imapd.conf.  Otherwise, you *have* to set the Root
AM> Folder Path to "INBOX." to get folders to work.  Read the documentation
AM> for altnamespace before you make this change.  Basically, nothing changes
AM> on the server side (except sieve filters), but you eliminate the needs to
AM> set the Root Folder Prefix on every client.  Most clients will work out of
AM> the box this way (no special settings, just use the New Account Wizards).

I  have  set  altnamespaces:  yes  as you suggested and configured the
client  as  it is described in this document, but the only differene I
've  noticed is that now instead of having folder user and then folder
test  in  it,  I  have  folder "Other Users" and then the folder named
after  the  user  name.  I  still am unable to make the clients to use
their  folders  for  inbox/outbox/drafts etc. Is there any way to find
out what's wrong with my installation? It is getting only worse :(

I've  forgotten  to mention that it happens in all IMAP clients I have
tried (M$ Outlook, Mozilla Thunderbird and The Bat!).
