I thought the sort_delimiter is needed for the correct hierarchical  
sort order even in the same namespace. As the default delimiter is '.'  
and my server uses '/', that would mess it up.

Though I manually changed the default delimiter to '/' in the  
Imap_Client source code to test the effects and the result still  
looked ok to me.

I tried to look at Imap_Client/test/Horde/Imap/Client/SortTest.php but
couldn't find an obvious example/test for the hierarchical sort.

Can you give a short example how this is intended to be used?

Perhaps we can work out a more verbose 'sort_delimiter' phpdoc text
that explains what it is actually doing.
