Could you do one check for me: With the new Binc, try creating a mailbox under INBOX and see if that works. If it does work, then the solution is quite simple. >Why was the syntax changed? Because the '/' is a much more natural hierarchy delimiter, because people want to use dots '.' in mailbox names, and because the server has until for a week ago been in beta development mode. Changes like this are in general done in development branches, but you can be sure that such things will never happen in 1.2. In 1.3, however, things can change again. The current branch, 1.2, is considered stable and only bugfixes will be made there. Now, the easiest way to fix this problem for all your users is with a one-liner like this following (assuming that it was possible to create mailboxes): find <path> -name "bincimap-subscribed" | xargs perl -pi -e \ 's/INBOX\./INBOX\//g' The <path> is a common parent directory for all your users. This is assuming you use Maildir++. That one line is run once, and then all your users' subscriptions are updated. And I can almost guarantee you that the hierarchy delimiter will never change again.
