In Cyrus you can change the separator (dot or /) and hierarchy mode
(everything under inbox and shared folders off root OR everything off root
and shared folders prefixed by a configurable string -- which is the mode
OutCrash users like) with relative impunity.
You WILL get grief from / and . in folder names when you switch modes.
Nothing will break in the server side, but the offending character (that is
now a folder separator) will be changed to something else by Cyrus (^, I
think). But appart from that, everything will work just fine in proper IMAP
clients like Mulbery, and even some improper ones like mutt.

In fact, a client that cannot deal with such type of folders is broken.
