Description Peter Williams 2001-08-16 16:14:16 UTC 
According to the IMAP RFC, each name can have a heirarchy delimiter,
although that delimiter has to stay the same throughout all of its
children. But, for example, one IMAP server could provide both

    mail/lists/foo-list

and

    #news.comp.os.linux

CamelStore only uses one global dir_sep, so it can't cope with this situation.
Comment 1 Peter Williams 2001-08-16 16:53:57 UTC 
Futuring.
Comment 2 Not Zed 2001-10-22 03:17:19 UTC 
Do any servers support it?
Comment 3 Peter Williams 2001-10-22 03:22:48 UTC 
The universal example seems to be a server that supports accessing
NNTP as well as email; I have no clue if any such server exists.
Comment 4 Dan Winship 2001-10-22 18:09:08 UTC 
Given that we don't even support multiple namespaces, this is
mostly NOTABUG right now.
