What is the correct mailbox delivery action in 2.3.3-2

Thanks Andy,

This behaviour has changed since the 2.2.x versions, because you can actualy
create all of these and deliver adhoc to any mailbox in 2.2.12.

But one question still stands, if I want to deliver directly to
user.jbasile.Draft, is this possible ?

John

Uhh, user.jbasile *is* the INBOX.  When an imap client connects to cyrus and
requests "INBOX" (a reserved name in IMAP), cyrus shows them the contents of
user.jbasile.  There is no reason to create a subfolder named INBOX, and I
wonder what problems that might create to confuse imap clients.
