I'm confused. Are/were you running a patched version of Cyrus that
created folders with '/' as the separator? My stuff is NOT compatible
with anything that actually stores folder names containing '/' in the
mailboxes DB (like David Fuchs' patch). The whole premise of my
alt-namespace and hier-sep is to not change any of the on-disk files.
