Sorry for the noise...I figured it out.

For the archives, the problem with Thunderbird was that the folders had 
"moved" from "mail/" to "/" (not really, but that was the perception). 
Once I unsubscribed from the "mail/*" folders and subscribed to the 
"/*" folders, everything worked.

The problem with the sidebar not updating the message counts was the 
same thing; I had to select the folders in the folder list and select 
"Check folders for new mail", and it started working.

One question, though; do I have to somehow tell IMP to not check the 
old "mail/*" folders for new mail? And how would I do that (since the 
folders no longer exist)?

Thanks again,
Rick
