Are you saying it worked previous with HEAD and has recently stopped  
working?  We haven't changed anything in the last month or so -  
therefore, if something suddenly stopped working it is an issue on  
your side.

obviously, this is not correct.  The namespace parameter is *only* to  
be used to add namespaces that want to be displayed but are not  
advertised by the server.  Quite frankly, this is something that  
occurs on probably 1 out of 100,000 instatllations.  I have really,  
really thought hard about removing the namespace parameter totally  
because people seem to just start throwing random things in there in  
an attempt to debug their installation instead of finding the real  
issue (or helping us fix the bug).

and it is incorrect.

Then you need to debug and figure out why IMAP_Client::namespace() is  
not returning any information.
