+@subsection A note on namespaces
+@cindex IMAP namespace
+@cindex namespaces
+The IMAP protocol has a concept called namespaces, described by the
+following text in the RFC:
+
+@example
+5.1.2. Mailbox Namespace Naming Convention
+
+ By convention, the first hierarchical element of any mailbox name
+ which begins with "#" identifies the "namespace" of the remainder of
+ the name. This makes it possible to disambiguate between different
+ types of mailbox stores, each of which have their own namespaces.
+
+ For example, implementations which offer access to USENET
+ newsgroups MAY use the "#news" namespace to partition the USENET
+ newsgroup namespace from that of other mailboxes. Thus, the
+ comp.mail.misc newsgroup would have an mailbox name of
+ "#news.comp.mail.misc", and the name "comp.mail.misc" could refer
+ to a different object (e.g. a user's private mailbox).
+@end example
+
+While there is nothing in this text that warrants concern for the IMAP
+implementation in Gnus, some servers use namespace prefixes in a way
+that does not work with how Gnus uses mailbox names.
+
+Specifically, University of Washington's IMAP server uses mailbox
+names like @code{#driver.mbx/read-mail} which are valid only in the
+@sc{create} and @sc{append} commands. After the mailbox is created
+(or a messages is appended to a mailbox), it must be accessed without
+the namespace prefix, i.e @code{read-mail}. Since Gnus do not make it
+possible for the user to guarantee that user entered mailbox names
+will only be used with the CREATE and APPEND commands, you should
+simply not use the namespace prefixed mailbox names in Gnus.
+
+See the UoW @sc{imapd} documentation for the @code{#driver.*/} prefix
+for more information on how to use the prefixes. They are a power
+tool and should be used only if you are sure what the effects are.
