This looks like the problem arises if there is a child mailbox that
starts out exactly the same as the parent, and only the next character
in the child string after the end of the parent string match is a space.
Or, (!strncmp(parnet,child,strlen(parent) && child[strlen(parent)+1] ==
' ');
Is that a correct analysis?
I'd have to think about it some more. There also is a problem with
other legal mailbox chars which sort before '.' (e.g. '-')

The mailbox is listed twice. Sometimes clients (Apple Mail) get
confused by this (sometime you can store messages in the folder, and
other times you can't)
Mailbox is only listed once in the mailboxes.db
Anyone know why this happens?
Can you capture the actual LIST/LSUB command?
Same deal with mailbox listed twice

This is a problem with ' ' sorting before '.'. There is a known problem
in that Cyrus uses the ASCII sort order to compare mailbox names, but
wants the hierarchysep character to sort first, which it doesn't in
ASCII. This is something that I need to fix.
The sort-term solution is to tell your users to not use spaces in mailbox
names.
