Honestly, the MUA does not have to comply, but IMAP Namespaces is a
standard. Lacking to comply with standards eventually leads to errors
and abandon in favor of a compliant MUA. If Evolution cannot deal
properly with the IMAP namespace my mailserver provides, how can i trust
it to create folder correctly and manage my mailboxes in a trustworthy way ?
