> So this is happening because cyrus must have a private or public > namespace defined that is empty (i.e. '').

But as discussed previously, this is bad because 1) it *is* > more confusing to users (see Bug 2422 for discussion) 2) if create is > selected without clicking a folder, the folder is created in the > blank namespace *not* the personal namespace (which is almost > certainly what the user and/or admin wants) and 3) this will require > the user to *always* insert the personal namespace information > ('INBOX.foo' for example) when renaming, which most certainly is not > what we should be asking users to do. > > > > Quite honestly, this appears to be an issue with the web interface > vs. a OS-specific GUI interface.
