Some mail clients, notably Netscape Messenger 4.7X, don't work reliably with the standard Cyrus namespace. However, as Ken pointed out, using the altnamespace option in Cyrus 2.1.1 will cause the server to report subdirectories of the INBOX as existing at the same level as the INBOX. So, the structure above would still be the same on disk, but mail clients would see: /INBOX /archive The only limitation with this approach is that now the INBOX never appears to have any subfolders.
