What exactely are the issues?
Note that with IMAP email can come in from almost any folder.
So having a folder called "Inbox" should be fine (in addition to the top 
folder which could be displayed differently). We probably will change Horde to 
behave in this respect.

Once you know about the effect it should be okay, because as users you are 
usually only using one client right now.

I advise against the "flat" namespace.

Note that there already is a marker for filtering, this is called Mailbox 
Delivery for the Webadmin Interface for the role user. So it is recommened for 
group users to activate this sieve script.
