I have been feeling a bit thick as well, reading this thread and struggling to understand the issues involved. With the last few messages, I think I may have finally seen the light.

Consider a store that can contain email messages, appointments, addresses, notes, etcetera, with items of each class restricted to separate containers but with all such containers in a common hierarchy. Am I correct in thinking that this would be an example of a situation where the foo/ issue arises? If so, then I well appreciate the desirability of a client's being able to determine that it is unable to create a mailbox called, say, Reminders because there happens to already be a notes-container with that same name. I am not sure that I like the solution though.

But there is still something I seem to be missing. Is the idea that a server should list such non-mail containers in, say, a LIST "" * or only in a specific case such as LIST "" Reminders/%?
