Is it possible to get Outlook Express work properly with "altnamspace: off"? (OK, I know that it is hard to place "Outlook Express" and "work properly" in same sentence, but let ignore that for a second).

From what I've managed to get working (or not working) so far with altnamespace turned off, it looks like this:

By default, Sent Items and Drafts folders are not usable. Seems that OE can't use "INBOX.Sent Items", it must have "Sent Items". Attempt to define folder for Sent Items as "INBOX.Sent Items" in OE settings results in message saying that folder names can't contain slash, backslash and dot characters.

If I set "root folder path" option to "INBOX" in OE account config, than it can use Sent Items and Drafts (since now OE internally transforms them into top level folders). However, now I can't see or access shared folders and other user's folders (only folders under my INBOX folder are visible).

Another thing is that when exiting from OE, it attempts to recheck all folders for new messages. If "root folder path" is set, it fails to authenticate (!?) and I need to retype the password.

Question. Is enabling altnamespace the only way to fully support Outlook Express clients?
