Yes the folders would be the same.

However, a 4th folder would also be present since the Inbox is  
required by the  IMAP RFC.

The Inbox would contain a welcome type message explaining how to use  
the chandler folders feature.
The Inbox would be read only and would not allow any new or copied  
mail to be placed in it.

The Chandler folders (Chandler Mail, Chandler Tasks, Chandler Events)  
would all function the same as the current design.

The additional features the Chandler IMAP Server would prevent would  
be  creating folders, deleting folders, subscribing to folders,  
unsubscribing to folders. etc.
