Yes it does.
Bah, seems the draft is up to -13 now, and they've actually changed the IMAP
command to GETMETADATA. Anyway, the cyrus implementation still uses
GETANNOTATION and seems to implement somewhere around -05 draft.

Both "*" and "%" list wildcard characters MAY be used in the mailbox
name argument to commands to match all possible occurrences of a
mailbox name pattern. However, "*" or "%" by themselves MUST NOT
match the empty string (server) entries. Server entries can only be
accessed by explicitly using the empty string as the mailbox name.
I'm pretty sure this works from my memory and testing.
