OK, I had a go at this. I can reproduce the problem. This is the result 
of a LIST on the test account on which I have reproduced it:

|a05 LIST "" ""
|* LIST (\Noselect) "/" /
|a05 OK LIST completed
|a06 LIST "" *
|* LIST (\HasChildren) "/" Inbox
|* LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" Wastebasket
|* LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" Outbox
|* LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" Drafts
|* LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" Filed
|* LIST (\HasChildren) "/" Inbox/firstname
|* LIST (\HasChildren) "/" Inbox/firstname.surname
|* LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" Inbox/firstname/filed
|* LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" Inbox/firstname.surname/filed
|a06 OK LIST completed

is that any help?

The IMAP server is Turnpike 6.02. This is essentially a MUA with 
excellent folder routing and a host of other good features. It also 
incorporates an IMAP server to make it's folders available to other 
clients via IMAP. So Turnpike is my primary choice of MUA if I'm sat 
here at my desk, with IMP giving me the ability to get at my Turnpike 
sorted mail from elsewhere. I realise this probably isn't helpful to you 
as it's obscure and you've probably never come across it. TP developers 
do tend to put great store by being RFC compliant though.
