However, "INBOX/" does; and if INBOX is not \NoInferiors then that name should be shown.
The "matching levels of hierarchy" text is, of course, referring to sub-hierarchies (so that "INBOX.bar" gets displayed if "INBOX.bar.foo" exists).
There is nothing in RFC 3501 that says that the first level of hierarchy is different from subsequent levels of hierarchy.
Right. But the _matching_ level of hierarchy is surely the one that matches the wildcard being discussed. Seems clear enough: �The character "%" is similar to "*", but it does not match a hierarchy delimiter. If the "%" wildcard is the last character of a mailbox name argument, matching levels of hierarchy are also returned.�
So for the command LIST "" "INBOX/%", when the only mailboxes in existence are INBOX and INBOX/a/b, the level of hierarchy matched by "%" is "a", and INBOX/a must be returned.
Nothing in RFC3501 says that the presence of % changes what the rest of the list expression should match.
