For example, your may have a company namespace, and a personal namespace. And sometimes IMAP servers declare "shared folders" namespaces and "news" namespaces, for simulating NNTP through IMAP. Some servers use INBOX as the base mailbox for all personal messages, and all mailboxes you create must be subfolders of this mailbox. So you get INBOX/Work, INBOX/Play and so on. But when users want root level mailboxes, these servers are sort of fscked, so they use the NAMESPACE extension to simulate that the subfolders of INBOX are in fact root level folders. So by declaring your "personal namespace" to be INBOX, the client will look inside INBOX to find your own mailboxes. That way, the above mailboxes become INBOX Work Play The reason that it didn't work for you with "INBOX." as the prefix is that Binc IMAP uses '/' and not '.' as a mailbox delimiter. So "INBOX" or "INBOX/" would both work.
