Did you strictly follow the hints given
at <URL:http://www.inter7.com/courierimap/README.imap.html>
on how to configure Netscape for IMAP? Works for me (modulo
creating subfolders, but thats a Netscape bug).

Yeah. Dig out an Ethernet packet sniffer (Ethereal or something)
and have it display the entire IMAP session so you can see
exactly what the client sends and how the server reacts to this.

You can try Cyrus, 'though it uses its own mail storage format
and it can not handle login names what have a dot in them,
which makes it unusable for me, but YMMV.
