I would prefer to have procmail still available.  My procmailrc is 295 
lines long; I do a LOT of things with it.  

The INBOX. prepend to the IMAP namespace for folders seems like a decent 
workaround, as all of my folders are at the top level, none are 
"underneath" INBOX (since you can't even do that with UW-IMAP).
