Hi Dave,

  Can someone explain how to get my IMAP folders to be folders on the
same level as Inbox, rather than becoming subfolders.

On some servers this is not possible -- the Inbox is like the root and
all other folders are subfolders of the Inbox. For instance, my IMAP
account at work is like this, using Courier IMAP as the server. However,
my personal accounts on my own server (MDaemon) allow me to create
folders at the same level as the Inbox.

agreed... there are basically two types of IMAP mail dir hierarchies, depending on the IMAP server, and how it is initially set up. These are:

A Maildir++ depository, the IMAP DEPOT structure would be this. Each additional mail folder as a subdirectory off of the INBOX dir.

"INBOX"
"INBOX/Sent"
"INBOX/tbbeta"        etc. as you are seeing it now.

INBOX
 Sent
 tbbeta


If your IMAP server uses IMAPdir, the IMAP DEPOT structure would be

INBOX
Sent
TBBETA
etc..
