Hi *, Before going back to the details in this discussion I want to point out that the whole thing turned out to be really relevant with existing clients: The Horde based Kolab WebClient expects the behavior as shown by Cyrus IMAP and fails to show "user/a...@example.com/INBOX" as dovecot currently lists A's INBOX.
While this might be considered a bug in Horde it shows that existing clients actually highly depend on the behavior as seen in Cyrus IMAP.

I'm talking about 1 vs 2 if you will. ;-) I expected "user/a...@example.com" to be A's INBOX, while BH pointed out, that with the current implementation it is more likely that "user/a...@example.com/INBOX" actually refers to A's INBOX. > If 1), RFC doesn't talk about it.

No, it doesn't as, the INBOX of A is referred to as "user/a...@example.com", so "a...@example.com/INBOX" would actually be an folder named "INBOX". Which would be displayed as "INBOX/INBOX" from A's point of view: User A: when shared to User B maps to: INBOX user/a...@example.com INBOX/foo user/a...@example.com/foo INBOX/foo/bar user/a...@example.com/foo/bar cheers sascha -- Sascha Wilde OpenPGP key: 4BB86568 http://www.intevation.de/~wilde/ http://www.intevation.de/ Intevation GmbH, Neuer Graben 17, 49074 Osnabrück; AG Osnabrück, HR B 18998 Geschäftsführer: Frank Koormann, Bernhard Reiter, Dr. Jan-Oliver Wagner
