[imp] Can't create or get any folder other than INBOX in IMP 3

[Romildo Wildgrube]

Bruce,

I had the same problem before and here is what I did.

1) Under IMP options select Server Information and choose "Use IMAP 
folder subscription".

2) In your config

$servers['imap'] = array(
    'name' => 'IMAP Server',
    'server' => 'localhost',
    'protocol' => 'imap',
    'port' => 143,
    'folders' => 'INBOX.',
    'namespace' => '',
    'maildomain' => 'mydomain.net',
    'smtphost' => 'mail.mydomain.net',
    'realm' => '',
    'preferred' => 'true'
);

change your 'folders' => 'INBOX.', to 
'folders' => ' ',

That should fix your problem.

Let me know if it works.
