You have your folders prefix set wrong in your horde/imp/config/servers.php
file.  The one user who works okay has folder subscriptions on.  The fix
is to correctly set the folder path.

You probably have it searching the entire system for each users folders,
rather than just their account or their folder subdirectories.
