For standard namespace I can create the top-level folder in hierarchy and this is sufficient for OE. With altnamespace I don't. For example: cyradm>cm test.first cyradm>cm test.second In that case OE failed, Netscape works fine and displays "test" hierarchy. For OE I can do: cyradm>cm test And now "test" subfolders works fine with OE.

This is completely OE problem. In case of Standard Namespace we have to modify registry when user wants to save his Sent mail on a server. In case of AltNamespace user decides previous problem but have to use ugly "GO TO" button to look through the Shared Folders. If you open Shared Folders via "GO TO" button they'll dissapear after Outlook restart. Since OE exists one should fix its problems. I think that proper patch for AltNamespace would be simple to make(may be #ifdef OE?) -- Konstantin.
