It depends on your server's configuration. It's what's called the
"Namespace" in most mailers. (There's a bug in our bug system that we
have to fix the wording.) Mostly, it's just to strip out useless
directories from the IMAP folder tree. Like, if using an empty
namespace gives you:

        - INBOX
        - mail
                - foo
                        - bar
                                - baz
                        - quux

Then using "mail/foo" for your namespace would give you:

        - INBOX
        - bar
                - baz
        - quux

(assuming your imapd uses "/" to separate directories).

Ah, 0.6 has problems with Cyrus imapd unfortunately. If you use
"INBOX" or "INBOX." as your namespace, you might be able to see at
least the INBOX folder.
