Subject: [Imap-protocol] IMAP vs. shared mailboxes
Message-ID: <alpine.OSX.2.00.0911161112200.244@hsinghsing.panda.com>

Are there any IMAP clients that depend upon being able to do a wildcard in 
listing other users to load their list of accessible mailboxes?  That is, 
given a server that advertises a namespace of
 	(("" "/")) (("/" "/")) (("/Public/" "/"))

How many IMAP clients routinely expect to be able to do
 	tag LIST "" /*

I can see doing
 	tag LIST "" *		(although I prefer % or %/%)
and
 	tag LIST "" /Public/*

but I'm a bit skeptical about /* in this case.
