I think you're confused: the reference name is simply an argument that tells LIST which results to return. For example, consider a hypothetical server with this mailbox hierarchy: /users/a/INBOX /users/a/foo /users/b/INBOX /users/b/xyzzy /pub/support #news.comp.protocols.imap If you're logged in as user a, "INBOX" refers to /users/a/INBOX; "foo" refers to /users/a/foo. "/pub/support" refers to /pub/support, as does "~b/xyzzy" refer to /users/b/xyzzy. You can think of this as having a current working directory of /users/a. Just as a current working directory provides a context to interpret a file name, the reference name provides a context for LIST to interpret its mailbox name. That's all it does. Now read Mark's reply to you again. It'll probably make more sense. (You may also wish to glance at the examples in RFC 2342 as well.) -- ams
