The docs are good and should be read.
I however do see a problem between the two implementations. I have set up two
separate imapd processes running on different ports and with different (one with
ALTERNATE NAMESPACE) imapd.conf files.
I am using a modified UW-imap tool (imapxfer) to transfer mail from one server to
another.
The below shows that the tool can not create a mailbox name "INBOX.Testing" when
connected to the same account using the ALTERNATE NAMESPACE feature. This works fine
when connecting to the same server using the standard namespace.
Transfer messages from cyrus server to cyrus-ALT-namespace server:
# ./imapxfer "{server-two:143}" userA passA "{server:143}" userB passB

I have TCPFLOW dumps if you are interested.
Kind regards, Stuart.
