-<application/IMAP/ servers supporting subfolders may use any character as a
-mailbox path separator, that is, as an equivalent to the slash character on Unix
-systems.
-If you are archiving an IMAP subfolder, first <command/archivemail/ will try
-to open a given mailbox name unchanged; if this fails, it will interpret any
-slashes in the <acronym/URL/ as path separators and try again.
+<command/archivemail/ tries to be smart when handling mailbox paths.
+In particular, it will automatically add an <acronym/IMAP/ <literal/NAMESPACE/
+prefix to the mailbox path if necessary; and if you are archiving a subfolder,
+you can use the slash as a path separator instead of the <acronym/IMAP/ server's
+internal representation.
