Argh... :-).

No no. The RFC says :

5.1.1.  Mailbox Hierarchy Naming

   If it is desired to export hierarchical mailbox names, mailbox names
   MUST be left-to-right hierarchical using a single character to
   separate levels of hierarchy.  The same hierarchy separator character
   is used for all levels of hierarchy within a single name.

I also searched the RFC for something like "what's your delimiter ?",
but it does not seem to be supported. Sigh.

I will look forward.

Thanks for your answers.
Nicolas.
