folder weirdness in IMP 2.3.7 dev (2001-10-10)

[liamr@umich.edu]

hey guys -

i'm having a problem with new users accessing their folders on our imap servers.
people can't see their folders until they go into "Server Preferences" under
"User Options" and change the path to the mail folders from "mail%2F" to
"mail/", save their changes, log out, and then log in again.

my entry in servers.php looks like:
$servers['UMCE'] = array(
    'name' => 'UMCE IMAP Service (cookieserver)',
    'server' => substr ((getenv('REMOTE_USER')),0,1) . '.imap.itd.umich.edu' ,
    'protocol' => 'imap',
    'port' => 143,
    'folders' => 'mail/',
    'namespace' => '',
    'maildomain' => 'umich.edu',
    'smtphost' => 'smtp.itd.umich.edu',
    'realm' => '',
    'preferred' => ''
);

i'm using php-4.0.6 with PEAR out of CVS.  apache 1.3.20.  we're talking to UW
IMAP4rev1 servers.  i don't remember this being a problem earlier, and only
noticed it because i wiped my preferences tables so I could make sure it was
creating new entries correctly.

any ideas?
