From our experience, you also have to have at least the `lr' ACLs on
that "test" folder as well. Its mere existence is not sufficient.

This seems to be the big difference between the old namespace and
the alt namespace.

1.6.25

. namespace
* NAMESPACE (("INBOX." ".")) (("user." ".")) (("" "."))
. OK Completed

. list "" "bb"
* LIST () "." bb
. OK Completed

. getacl "bb"
* ACL bb anyone lr
. OK Completed

2.0.15-HIERSEP-r2

. namespace
* NAMESPACE (("" ".")) (("Other_Users." ".")) (("Shared_Folders." "."))
. OK Completed

. list "" "Shared_Folders"
* LIST (\HasChildren \Noselect) "." "Shared_Folders"
. OK Completed (0.010 secs 2 calls)

. getacl "Shared_Folders"
. NO Invalid mailbox name

This all makes sense this "Shared_Folders" is a true namespace,
while "bb" isn't. Personally, I don't think Cyrus should violate
the RFC because a client is brain dead. From RFC2060:

      \Noselect It is not possible to use this name as a selectable
                     mailbox.

Use Office XP, complain to Microsoft, or don't use the altnamespace
option.
