Given I helped devise this plan, I approve and like it :) A couple of things: 1. Should we block creation of INBOX.sub in the alt namespace mode? In theory, only the top level "[Ii][Nn][Bb][Oo][Xx]" is special, but it *might* confuse some clients that INBOX.sub and Inbox.sub are different folders. 2. Should it be possible to block creation of the <illegal> folders and to help with (1), INBOX.[...everything except Inbox...] in the Non-Alt namespace mode? If we did that, we could create a script that went through and renamed all the existing bogus ones in some way sanely, and know that no invisible or confusing folders will ever be created in the future...
