That is because James employs a folder hierarchy where '#' is used to denote a
namespace.
#private:wojtek:INBOX denotes your inbox on which I would have a shared access.
#shared:marketting:INBOX denotes a shared mailbox for the marketting team.
I bet you could do: #private:wojtek:#hashtest ?
That being said, james have no support for accessing shared mailboxes in IMAP
just quite yet. The usefulness of that addressing scheme is thus limited.
IMO we could:
- Drop the #namespace:user:mailbox addressing sheme in IMAP as it is not
currently in use...
- Or (lighter) if we can't parse a mailbox path (no : after #) then keep the
name as is, IE support #hashtest
- Review and adopt another addressing sheme that matches those of eg cyrus.

On Jun 22, 2023 9:10 AM, from Wojtek Hi,
I ran into an issue when importing mails from other servers - it seems that
it's not possible to
create folder which name starts with hash-sign, e.g.: "#testfolder".
I tested other mail servers (gmail, mailu [postfix?], fastmail [cyrrus?],
mailbox.org, infomaniak
[no idea what they use]) and all of them allowed folder names starting with "#".
```
A4 CREATE #hashtest
A4 NO CREATE You can not access a mailbox that does not belong to you
```
Looking at the spec (https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc3501#section-5.1)
it seems that `#`
can have special meaning and could be used to denote namespaces.
Is it a configurable option (i.e. is it possible to disable namespaces/shared
mailboxes or some
such) that would result in James allowing mailboxes starting with `#`?
