Synopsis: Shared Folders created under Cyrus IMAP not showing up.
Bugzilla-Product: Evolution
Bugzilla-Component: Shell

Description:
When connecting to Cyrus IMAP Evolution shows all the folders in my
account as
root folders along with the INBOX, when I haven't specified the
namespace as
'INBOX'.

The first repsonse would be that this is okay, but it becomes a  problem
when you
want to view shared folders, such as Announcement lists.

After doing research Courier-IMAP and Cyrus-IMAP use the 'INBOX'
namespace torepresent the user's mailbox.  This makes sense in that
masking it will only allow you to see what is inside it as root level
folders.  

If you don't mask it you can see other folders that Cyrus's Access
Control List will alow you to view.

Because UW-IMAP (shudder) and Cyrus-IMAP are very different, and have
different namespaces. "mail, ~/mail, etc" for UW-IMAP and "INBOX" for
Cyrus-IMAP it would be easier if you had sections for namespaces, or a
drop down list of default choices depending on the server you access.

As it stands right now Outlook 200x and Mozilla 0.9.9's mail client see
shared folders.
