The answer is given in the FAQ. Perhaps you should study up on the IMAP protocol a little bit, in order to help you with the task of administering an IMAP server. As the FAQ states, the IMAP protocol permits allows to use any folder hierarchy structure that is convenient for them. IMAP servers are not required - for example - to allow folders to be created at the root level of their hierarchy tree. The IMAP NAMESPACE extension is used to inform IMAP mail clients where in the server's folder hierarchy the client can create or open private folders, shared folders, or "other" folders. Exactly where in the IMAP folder hierarchy the folders might be found has absolutely nothing to do with how an IMAP mail client presents the folder hierarchy. It is completely up to the IMAP client to intelligently present the server's folder hierarchy. You claim that the IMAP mail client presents the server's folder hierarchy verbatim. If that's not what you would like to see, then check the documentation for your IMAP mail client regarding how to reconfigure your IMAP mail client's display. If your IMAP mail client does not have any way to reconfigure the way that the folder hierarchy is shown, then that's that. The end of the story. -- Sam _______________________________________________ courier-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/courier-users
