It shouldn't.  i.e. even if the delimiter is '/', these should still  
be sorted correctly:

Foo
Foo/bar
Foo/bar/baz
Foo2

since '/' > any character/number in sorting.

It's not needed here because we can guarantee that all mailboxes will  
contain the same delimiter (since we don't allow special mailboxes to  
live outside the personal namespace).
