[imp] Mail not showing up

[V93r]

please specify your system & versions..

i did not find any hints, the only one is from the README.debian for 
c-client-ssl2001:

if i run horde/test.php -> IMP tests & login to my server, i get:

server="localhost" user="gert" mailbox="{localhost:143}INBOX"
INBOX has 0 messages (0 new 0 recent)

i dont know if this is only on debian, since the other people who 
reported the same behaviour did not specify their systems.

also i dont know how to change this in IMP.

a little bit frustrating..
