I haven't played with bincimap yet, but on Courier (from memory) you do
it like this:
~user/Maildir/
cur/
new/
tmp/
.folder1
cur/
new/
tmp/
.folder2
cur/
new/
tmp/
By the looks you don't need leading dots on your subfolders, so try
nesting them *inside* your INBOX folder. You might also experiment
with whether the two-stage Maildir/INBOX separation is required - on
Courier the top Maildir is just treated as INBOX directly on the
client side.
Cheers,
Gavin
