Since the empty namespace is the default namespace, LIST "" "" should
|
|
return something. INBOX is part of the default namespace, although it has
|
|
special semantics (in particular, case-independency).
|
|
|
|
In your example, I see not particular benefit to having both #mbox/ and
|
|
#maildir. . One or the other should be the default namespace. Actually,
|
|
AFAICT, both types of names can be in the default namespace as long as you
|
|
agree to use / as the hierarchy delimiter for maildir names; presumably
|
|
these names correspond to UNIX filesystem objects and not something else.
