(Message sent a few days ago but I don't think it got through).
The alternate namespace looks like a very useful enhancement that should
avoid problems with the many clients that
assume too much about what the namespace should be. I think it's also much
more in line with what users expect.
I do have one query though. Since personal folders and INBOX now exist at
the same level for the logged-in user
I had expected the same to be true also for "Other Users" - e.g. there
might be mailboxes
Other Users.Mike.INBOX
Other Users.Mike.Saved
etc.
(There is a similar example on p.7 of RFC2342)
However this is not the case - instead the messages in Mike's INBOX are
found in Other Users.Mike
Is it worth reconsidering this while the enhancement is still not
"official" - or are there theoretical or practical reasons for the way
it's done at present?
Anyway, many thanks!
John.
