Because this is a client-based configuration.

If people get one conf right, cool; but a configuration based upon brand 
and version of mail client sounds like crying for support calls, IMHO.

Somebody suggested name spaces, well, I remember the IMAP prefix 
directory.

Once we used UW-imap serving mails located in the normal home directory of 
the users. Without the prefix configured right it was just nightmare to 
answer the support calls like "all my mail folders are gone".

Well, I do understand that it would be most useful if the client would 
"request" the best view for it.

Bye,
