The default Cyrus namespace is:
* NAMESPACE (("INBOX." ".")) (("user." ".")) (("" "."))
which means that to access another user's mailbox (ACL permitting) is
would use 'user.username.folder'.
Do you intend to change this to:
* NAMESPACE (("INBOX." ".")) (("domain." ".")) (("" "."))
for each domain?

You're *probably* OK as long as you stay consistent. I haven't thought
all of this through.

Assuming that the entire point is to be able to have two or more people
with the same userid on the same system (ie, [EMAIL PROTECTED],
[EMAIL PROTECTED]), my HIERSEP code (soon to be Cyrus v2.1) will do this
now, since each identifier will still be unique. This will be treated
as one big mailstore, so the public folders will be shared, and user in
example.com could see folders in example.net.
Potentially stupid question:
If you truely want isolated domains on one server, why not just setup
one imapd for each domain, listening on a unique IP addresses (via IP
aliasing, etc), and have each imapd use a separate config file? This
would not require any changes to the code, and would keep the domains
isolated from each other.
