cat  ~/Maildir/courierimapsubscribed

shows all my folders.

With binc even with "Tools>Folder subscription" the only folder I see is

I'm using Evolution and I'm quite sure I'm subscribed: with courier if I use the "Tools>Folder subscription" to check for folders I can see the whole of the folders and select the ones I want. INBOX. I've tried to copy ~/Maildir/courierimapsubscribed to Maildir/.bincimap-subscribed with no luck. I'll try again tomorrow.

   INBOX/foo
   INBOX/bar
   INBOX/bar/foobar

Those two files are not interchangeable, they just serve the same purpose. Courier uses a "." to separate folders, while Binc uses a "/". the .bincimap-subscribed should look like this:

Could it be a problem that my ~/Maildir is in fact a link to another dir on another partition?

I doubt it. If Binc does not have read access to that other partition, then that could be a problem, but Binc has no problem following links.

But I'm curious about the creating subfolders thing... you're not allowed to create subfolders? What happens when you try?

Here's the error Evolution gives me:
"Comando IMAP fallito: CREATE failed: With a Maildir++ depot, you must create all 
mailboxes under INBOX. Try creating INBOX/INBOX.T."

Ahhhh, I see. Evolution thinks that the subfolder separator is . rather than / - I have no idea where in Evolution's config you can set that (it *should* auto-detect that). Maybe it only auto-detects it when you first set up the account? Perhaps try setting up a new account in Evolution for binc, and see if it realizes what's going on. Science is like sex: Sometimes something useful comes out, but that is not the reason we are doing it.
