Have you tried turning off the "Show only subscribed folders" option? (Tools->Account Options->Select Account->Server Settings->Advanced Options)
I'm using Cyrus IMAP with Thunderbird (0.9 and now 1.0) and Cyrus does the same thing Courier does: all subfolders are under INBOX and I've had absolutely no problem with it. Oh! I just realized, you may need to, on the same screen as above, click the option that says "Server supports folders that contain sub-folders and messages". I bet that's the problem. Check that option and please report back. Cheers, Tanner On Wed, 08 Dec 2004 23:15:25 -0500, David A.
