For those of us still trying to understand the downsides of this, can you provide an example of how such "ambiguity" would case incorrect client behavior?
If LIST does not inform the client that the name exists, then the client may attempt a CREATE command that will not succeed, and in turn be unable to proceed. There is no status code that says "can not create this mailbox because this name is already a directory" or "can not create this directory because it already exists as a directory".
OK, point taken.
