WinXP SM 2.22

I have ten POP accounts and one IMAP. The IMAP account is new and the first I have ever had. I expect IMAP to be somewhat different but this is a bit much.

When I open the mail client, my primary POP account and the IMAP are expanded; sub-folders are exposed. The rest of the POP accounts show only the top folder. The IMAP looks like this.

If I open the Inbox, all other folders disappear.

At a later time when I opened the mail client the sub-folders had grown to this;

Again, opening Inbox caused the others to disappear. It would seem that the sub-folders will grow without bound.

Those sometimes visible folders are actual files in an INBOX sub-directory, just like they show when the mail client is first opened, and they are being used. The account can send and receive, but no "normal" Sent, Draft, Template,,, folders are created. Rather it creates a fresh set in INBOX.sdb every time the mail client is opened.

I closed SM, deleted everything except the X:\\\MAIL\inbox. The next time I opened the mail client, X:\\\MAIL\INBOX.sdb and files representing those shown above were recreated.

Is any/all of this to be expected with IMAP?
