Comment	>> The namespace RFC (RFC 2342) explicitly states that these kind of >> personal mailboxes (e.g. Sent, Trash) must appear within a personal >> namespace: >> >> Clients often attempt to create mailboxes for such purposes as >> maintaining a record of sent messages (e.g. "Sent Mail") or >> temporarily saving messages being composed (e.g. "Drafts"). For >> these clients to inter-operate correctly with the variety of IMAP4 >> servers available, the user must enter the prefix of the Personal >> Namespace used by the server. Using the NAMESPACE command, a client >> is able to automatically discover this prefix without manual user >> configuration. > > I think the intention of the above RFC paragraph is to mention that > the folders _normally_ reside in the personal namespace. Also it > points out that a client should not try to use a "Drafts" folder > without any prefix and should always use something like > "INBOX/Drafts".

Would it cause any harm to > enable shared folders for this? >
