One little addition after reading the NAMESPACE RFC: This prefix could be figured out by issuing a NAMESPACE command, so the user could say "the prefix for my personal mailboxes" instead of "INBOX.". Nnimap could introduce the `nnimap-prefix' paramter, containing either a string (the prefix itself) or a symbol (personal, other, shared) indicating a namespace class from which the prefix should be obtained. Of course, the latter would yield an error if the namespace class in question contains more or less than one namespace. Andras
