the default value for altnamespace was 0 in 2.5 and change to 1 in  
3.0, so setting it to 0 in your config restores the old setting.

In imapd.conf you can set options to different values for specific  
services defined in cyrus.conf
if you prepend the option with SERVICENAME_
So imap_admins sets the option "admin" only for the service imap

normal users don't see the DELETED folders and only shared folders and  
other users folders
if they have permission via ACLs

You need to run "reconstruct -V max"
