I'm really hoping that was sarcasm, as I have brought up this particular _bug_
before and recieved no response.  I kinda like the way it behaves (letting you
alter the full path) but the resultant behavior is entirely too vague and, IMHO
is not appropriate for the user audience HORDE claims to target.

It's a 'bug' with any IMAP backend that uses the default delimiter of "." for
mailbox names (Cyrus here).  Using an alternate delimiter in IMAP should not be
necessary for getting IMP to behave.

And if that _WAS_ sarcasm (hard to tell by the ;-) ), then I apologize for my
unnecessary posting.  

Keep up the good work.
