Why do you post HTML?

Why do you send me messages via BCC, rather than CC?

  I have a spam filter installed that uses similar mechanisms
  as the Zope mailing list.
  Messages not explicitely addressed are dropped.

Now to your question: You cannot put an MFolder (or any other
object) at the Zope root. The root must be an "Application"
object, "MFolder" is not such a beast.

Your options:

  *  Using a SiteAccess AccessRule to automatically
     forward requests to a subfolder.

     HowTo at zope.org

  *  You could patch the "Application"'s "__bobo_traverse__"
     method (nowadays usually done with a so call
     "HotFix" technique; HowTo on Zope.org).
     You would need to merge the "Application"'s
     "__bobo_traverse__" with that of "MFolder".
