Thanks.

Ah. Can you let me know where it says that? I was going from the
formal syntax at the end of RFC3501, where it says:

        (1) Except as noted otherwise, all alphabetic characters
        are case-insensitive.  The use of upper or lower case
        characters to define token strings is for editorial clarity
        only.  Implementations MUST accept these strings in a
        case-insensitive fashion.

and I didn't see anything specially marked about the case of
status-att (or, in fact, anything other than the issues around INBOX).
