Yes, but such a name shows up with a % wildcard.
It does? Larry, can you confirm that?
It does not necessarily show up with a * wildcard.
So this is legal?
C: a list "" "/a/*" S: * list () "/" /a/b/c S: a ok
That is, there is no response for /a/b, not even an \noselect one.
Cyrus does it all the time, especially with newsgroups, as Larry mentioned:
. list "" comp.mail.* * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "comp.mail.elm" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "comp.mail.eudora.mac" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "comp.mail.eudora.ms-windows" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "comp.mail.headers" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "comp.mail.imap" ...
No responses for comp or comp.mail which aren't mailboxes.
However,
. list "" comp.%
or
. list "" comp.mail%
will respond with
* LIST (\HasChildren \Noselect) "." "comp.mail"
