dovecot - Mar 2005 - emulating courier imap

I'm trying this:

default_mail_env = maildir:%h/.maildir:INDEX=%h/.indexes:INBOX=%
h/.maildir
namespace private {
        separator = .
        prefix = INBOX.
        inbox = no
}
namespace private {
        separator = .
        prefix         inbox = yes
        hidden = yes
}

but dovecot doesn't appear to be honoring "hidden" - am I missing
something? (that is, all my folders appear twice- one under INBOX, the
other under root)

I tried without the second segment, and makign the first one
"inbox=yes"
- but then I got two inboxes...

I'm not sure if your patch is exactly correct for this. The LIST code is
pretty strange in how it works and I think I've finally gotten it right,
changing something might break it.. Even though only with such
hidden=yes prefix="" special case..

Anyway, I'll try to look at the code soon to make sure it does what it's
supposed to and add a few comments there..

That's the way it should be done. With two inboxes do you mean INBOX and
INBOX.INBOX? This is a bug, I'll get that fixed too.

That made me think of a quote by Brian Kernighan:

"Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place.
Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you are, by
definition, not smart enough to debug it.?
