Ok. I am almost there. The imapd shows all the folders now, but most of the
folders contain messages and the only folder showing messages acording to
imap is the inbox.
As an example, I have a CERT folder where I keep all the cert announcements
I get from their security mailing list. There's 19 messages in
./mail/cert/new, but going to the cert folder via IMAP shows it empty.
I tried moving a message into the folder to see if that would regenerate the
message list, but no go. It only showed the one message I moved in there.
I think if we can get THIS resolved then we are set.
Thanks!
