Thank you Andy. I kew it would be simple. I simply changed the 'root folder' option in my client to 'INBOX' & my folders appeared straight away.

You are probably using a Maildir++ depot, and all mailboxes must be created under INBOX. Seems your client wants to use Maildir/ as the root folder, but it should use INBOX, that is INBOX/Trash. You can change to IMAPdir if you don't like this requirement. In the Mailbox section of your global bincimap.conf file or local .bincimap file, set depot = "IMAPdir" like this, together with all the other settings: Mailbox { depot = "IMAPdir" } Then you need to create a symlink inside the Maildir that points to the current directory, like this: ~/Maildir/INBOX -> ~/Maildir Then you can create mailboxes at any level. Andy PS: The error message sucks ;).
