Chances are this might be related to a bug that was posted a while ago, and Stefan fixed it in a way that was technically not correct to the RFCs, he might have corrected it properly, and you ended up with the result you have. We might need to wait for Stefan to pipe up on this bit. The older issue was that INBOX wasn't selectable (after Stefan fixed the \NoSelect issue) as the INBOX wasn't subscribed. Some IMAP servers make an unsubscribed folder unselectable, which was the original case. As a silly question, are you looking at the "All Mailboxes" tab, or the "Subscribed Only" tab in the IMAP Folder Management window? > Now, a couple of questions: > 1.

Hrm... well all the folders should be listed, TB should be using LIST to get the list, and you should be able to subscribe/unsubscribe from the IMAP Folder Management option. >> You might want to cheat, and create a second account, as I've found >> the "Refresh" link to be unreliable.

Next is INBOX again, with ALL > folders indented underneath it. Mulbery is doing it the nicer way... well sort of. INBOX is the parent based on the hierachy/delimiter of the folders. So to be nice to you, it's showing it, and as your IMAP server didn't tell Mulberry that it wasn't allowed to select it (\NoSelect flag in the LIST results), then it allowed you to make it selectable too. As for why it shows the INBOX twice, I couldn't tell you. -- Jonathan Angliss ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Looking for a helping hand? There's one on your arm.
