you need to map INBOX separately. see Store:MapInbox and
MaildirStore:Inbox (the latter will cause surprises, though - just
fixing it).
i'm not entirely confident about the correct INBOX location semantics -
it's pretty weird stuff.
the maildir equivalent of the IMAP INBOX is ~/Maildir. however, when
specifying Path, people seem to expect it to exist as <Path>/INBOX.
regarding IMAP, i think INBOX is not guaranteed to live under the
server-dictated NAMESPACE hierarchy, either - i think with uw-imap:mbox,
INBOX is equivalent to $MAIL (usually /var/spool/mail/$USER), while the
NAMESPACE starts at $HOME or $HOME/Mail (depending on the server compile
time config).

no, it's an old-standing missing feature. it won't consider the dots
separators, so you'll get a flat structure.
