Yes, they do pretty much say that, but I'm not convinced that their
interpretation of the RFCs is correct. The latter say that the server
can do what it likes as long as it informs the client (via the NAMESPACE
extension). They don't say the client has to be able to present the
folder hierarchy in a different way from the server's preference.

Well, 'Preferences->Mail Accounts-><account>->Receiving Options' has an
option called 'Override Server-supplied Folder Namespace'. You might try
playing with that.
