(the :LAYOUT=fs is unnecessary, because it's the default with mboxes
anyway.)
   Made the above change as you suggested.  That turned my namespaces into:

namespace private {
   separator = /
   prefix = "mail/"
   location = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u
   inbox = yes
   hidden = no
   list = no   # for v1.1+
}

namespace private {
   separator = /
   prefix = "mail-Archives/"
   location = mbox:~/mail-Archives
   inbox = no
   hidden = no
   list = yes
   subscriptions = yes
}

Now when I open Outlook, I get nothing except the INBOX. I can't see anything else. When I go into 'IMAP Folders' and hit refresh, I see the INBOX file, and the tree for 'mail-Archives', but I can't see any files (mailboxes) within that tree, so I can't subscribe to anything. The 'mail/' namespace doesn't seem to exist since it doesn't show up at all.

Checking Thunderbird, I can see and subscribe to anything in 'mail/', but like Outlook I can only see the tree in 'mail-Archives' but I can't see the individual files (mailboxes) within the folders to be able to subscribe to them.


It's probably a good use of namespaces, although it would be simpler if
you just put archives under ~/mail/Archives/.
That was done for remote backup purposes. This way we can backup the user's ~mail/ folder every night, and the ~mail-Archives/ once a month.
