RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description of problem:
I have set in /etc/imapd.conf "altnamespace: yes" yet I am still seeing all of my folders as children of INBOX.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
cyrus-imapd-2.4.17-8.el7_1
How reproducible:
100%
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install and configure cyrus-imapd
2. Set "altnamespace: yes" in /etc/imapd.conf
3. Open IMAP account in evolution
Actual results:
Inbox has all folders as children
Expected results:
Folders should be at the same level as Inbox
Additional info:
From https://cyrusimap.org/docs/cyrus-imapd/2.4.7/altnamespace.php:
Alternate Mailbox Namespace
The alternate namespace allows a user's personal mailboxes to appear as if they reside at the same level as that user's INBOX as opposed to children of it. For example, if user "bovik" had a personal "work" mailbox, it would appear to user "bovik" as "work" instead of "INBOX.work" as it would in the standard namespace.
This configuration requires that a special prefix be used for shared folders (to distinguish them from personal folders) and for accessing other users' folders. By default, the prefix for shared folders is "Shared Folders" and the prefix for other users folders is "Other Users". For example, a shared folder "foo" in the standard namespace would be presented as "Shared Folders.foo" in the alternate namespace.
NOTE: All tools for administering the server, including admins using cyradm, always use the internal namespace.
Configuring the Alternate Namespace
To use the alternate namespace, turn on the altnamespace option in /etc/imapd.conf. The prefixes used for shared folders and other users folders can be changed from the defaults by setting the sharedprefix and userprefix options respectively.
My /etc/imapd.conf:
configdirectory: /var/lib/imap
partition-default: /var/spool/imap
admins: cyrus brian
sievedir: /var/lib/imap/sieve
sendmail: /usr/sbin/sendmail
hashimapspool: true
sasl_pwcheck_method: saslauthd
sasl_mech_list: LOGIN GSSAPI PLAIN
allowplaintext: no
defaultdomain: mail
tls_cert_file: /etc/pki/cyrus-imapd/cert.pem
tls_key_file: /etc/pki/cyrus-imapd/privkey.pem
tls_ca_file: /etc/pki/cyrus-imapd/fullchain.pem
altnamespace: yes
autocreatequota: 0
lmtp_downcase_rcpt: yes
sasl_keytab: /etc/krb5_cyrus.keytab
autocreate_post: 1
This was PEBKAC. Users listed in admins don't get the altnamespace.
Seems I don't have permission to change the bug status to NOTABUG though.
