You mean Thunderbird could allow accessing mailboxes it can't LIST among
regular mailboxes? How? I won't believe it until I see it myself. :) I
didn't see any obvious ways to do that.

There's of course the ways to override the namespace roots. So I suppose
if you wanted to access user foo's mailboxes, you could set the shared
namespace root to /Users/foo/, but that's not very user friendly.
