I'm using the Cyrus imapd bundled with Mac OS X:

localhost> version
name       : Cyrus IMAPD
version    : v2.1.13 2003/09/23 22:52:55
vendor     : Project Cyrus

os         : Darwin
os-version : 7.2.0
environment: Cyrus SASL 2.1.3
             Sleepycat Software: Berkeley DB 4.1.25: (December 19, 2002)
             Built w/OpenSSL 0.9.7b 10 Apr 2003
             Running w/OpenSSL 0.9.7b 10 Apr 2003
             CMU Sieve 2.2
             TCP Wrappers
             mmap = shared
             lock = fcntl
             nonblock = fcntl
             auth = krb
             idle = poll
             mboxlist.db = db3
             subs.db = flat
             seen.db = flat
             duplicate.db = db3-nosync
             tls.db = db3-nosync

Apple uses alt namespace (Other\ Users) and unix hierarchy separator.. I can create a mailbox at the root of the hierarchy (ie not in Other\ Users/):

localhost> lm
4am (\HasNoChildren)
Other Users/ghydle (\HasChildren)
Other Users/ghydle/Deleted Messages (\HasNoChildren)
Other Users/mbartosh (\HasChildren)

<snipped for length>

And grand permission to multiple users to manage the folder:

localhost> lam 4am
mbartosh lrswipcda
ghydle lrswipcda
nadmin lca

However, when viewing the folder using an imap client, it is seen as:

Other\ Users/nadmin/4am

...creating it at Other\ Users/4am lets it be seen over imap as:

Other\ Users/4am

...This, however, will be confusing for the users accessing the folder, and anyway it's ugly. Is there any way to get the folder to show up simply as 4am.
