Now I have reproduced the problem, so please ignore this last email. :-P
Here's the communication between Binc and Mozilla:

61 lsub "" "*"
* LSUB (\UnMarked) "/" "INBOX"
61 OK LSUB completed
62 list "" "%"
* LIST (\UnMarked) "/" "INBOX"
62 OK LIST completed
63 list "" "%/%"
* LIST (\UnMarked) "/" "INBOX/Drafts"
* LIST (\UnMarked) "/" "INBOX/TestFolder"
* LIST (\UnMarked) "/" "INBOX/groups"
* LIST (\UnMarked) "/" "INBOX/work"
63 OK LIST completed

So Mozilla first asks for all root level mailboxes. Then it asks for all
second level mailboxes. Then it stops - and does no more investigation.
I have seen this behavior in other clients such as Evolution, but usually
this behavior is followed by more LIST commands as the user navigates
through the folder view.

So if I click on "INBOX/groups", the client usually does (and should do) a

. LIST "" "INBOX/groups/%"

But Mozilla doesn't do this. I tried experimenting with the CHILDREN
extension, and found no difference in Mozilla's behavior. It does never
display submailboxes of any level deeper than 2 (INBOX/Work) unless they
are already subscribed to.

If anyone can provide more info, please post. :-)

Andy :-)
