Migration is always difficult and I am always for any solution that keeps backward compatibility. I like the idea above where folders not prepended

displaying as
INBOX
go
there
go/here
Or perhaps
Maildir/
Mail/go/
Mail/there/
Mail/go/here/
displaying as the same list.
I'd be happy with either, but the latter requires no migration at my end. I expect that you could offer either, with a configuration difference.
with '.' are presented as top-level folders. Especially because it leaves open the possibility of simultaneous INBOX subfolders and top-level subfolders. If the IMAP standard allows simultaneous subfolders of INBOX and
peers, then this would allow both.
Personally, I'm not a big fan of converting the IMAP folders into system folders, I like the system of all the folders being at the same level. This is just a matter of preference though.
This isn't an issue at the moment, but there also *could* be a problem with assuming that '/' is the path separator--and that '\' is the only alternative. OTOH, if POSIX conformance is what we're going for, POSIX.1 designates '/' as the path separator.
