Matt -
If you could throw your patch (or a link to it) up on the wiki page I
previously noted, that would be great.

And while I respect the argument, the point remains that adding an option to
skip namespace detection on the server when it is available it *precisely*
the issue we were fixing when we implemented the new code.  So adding code
to take us back to that situation is unacceptable.

there may in the future be a way to 'hide' namespaces obtained from the
server - since this seems to be contemplated by the RFC.  But the jury is
still out on this one.  And it doesn't eliminate the fact that if there are
namespaces available on an IMAP server the correct behavior is to
reconfigure the server - not implement hackish workarounds (if at all
possible) in the MUA.
