I started the discussion on the cyrus mailing list:
http://lists.andrew.cmu.edu/pipermail/info-cyrus/2010-December/034249.html

I suppose your second option (overwrite namespace response) would be 
preferable. Sysadmin are used to configuration options that force a 
specific behavior, it's less confusing.

I don't know yet if it's roundcube, cyrus or me that is responsible for 
this problem. I will investigate and file a ticket if necessary. 
However, if you had a quick patch to overwrite namespace response (or 
indicate me where to do the change), I'd appreciate.


Thanks,
Julien
