Mac OS X's Mail is evolved from Mail.app in NeXT/OPENSTEP. I don't remember
IMAP being supported in OPENSTEP 4.2, so this is something that Apple added.
I am running Cyrus v1.5.19 and Apple's Mail _does_ have problems with it. I
can see the entire hierarchy, but can't access anything but INBOX.
Other mail clients do not have these troubles with this server, so I can
pretty safely say that it's Apple's problem. :-)
I would bet that nobody at Apple ever thought that someone would be silly
enough to use a "." as a separator. hehe They probably got as far as UW
and stopped there once things "worked" with it.
