An issue yes, but definitely not a show stopper.

Jan, is this still an issue for you? It's the only showstopper currently listed for IMP 4.2.

I tried debugging this for hours and my tree looks identical to Jan's and I still could never reproduce.  So somebody that can reproduce this will have to take a look at this.

The virtual folders are fine again, but the shared folders still appear under public folders, and the empty shared folders node is still displayed.

How about after this?

My virtual folders are not displayed under the shared folders node. If using the alternative namespaces like described in this ticket earlier the shared folders are displayed under the public folders node.

I think that would be a good compromise, especially since I've never seen multiple namespaces on a real world server.

I can see this in cases where there is only one namespace in a given type - we could simply display all folders in the base directory ("Shared Folders"/"Public Folders") like we do when one of these namespaces is blank.  However, if there are multiple namespaces for a given type we must display the way we currently do or else we risk collisions (i.e. if both shared folders contain a 'foo' mailbox, there is no way to display both of these if we have a flat display.

I suggest to tweak the new folder tree view that separates public and shared folders from personal folders. We should not display the namespace value that is used for the public and shared namespaces at all.
E.g. if I use the altnamepace setting with Cyrus, the tree currently looks like in the attached screen shot. This is obviously redundant. The namespaces the in this case look like:
(("" ".")) (("Other Users." ".")) (("Shared Folders." "."))
But even without altnamespace (("INBOX." ".")) (("user." ".")) (("" ".")) it would make sense to remove the 'user' level from the 'Shared Folders' subtree.
