[imp] Missing folders in IMP -- *not* the problem from the FAQs

[Scott Courtney]

I've been out and extensively searched the archives, and have found this
symptom to be documented elsewhere, but the fix that everyone says worked for
them does *not* work here. I'm sure I have a config problem, but I'll be
darned if I can spot it.

Running Horde 2.2.3 stable, IMP 3.2.1 stable, PHP 4.3.2 stable, Apache 1.3.27.
IMAP server is Courier version 1.11. Normal IMAP functions work perfectly
in the INBOX itself, and I can actually create subfolders under INBOX but
then can't see them!

imp/servers.php section:

$servers['imap'] = array(
    'name' => 'IMAP Server',
    'server' => 'webmail01.MY-DOMAIN-HERE.com',
    'protocol' => 'imap/notls',
    'port' => 143,
    'folders' => 'INBOX.',
    'namespace' => '',
    'maildomain' => 'webmail01',
    'smtphost' => 'localhost',
    'realm' => '',
    'preferred' => ''
);

The actual IMAP storage directory is /home/exim/mail/$LOGIN/Maildir. If I
do an "ls -la" on it, I get this:

drwxr-sr-x   10 exim     mail         4096 Jun  9 14:27 .
drwx--S---    3 exim     mail         4096 Jun  9 14:25 ..
-rw-r--r--    1 exim     mail           51 Jun  9 13:25 courierimapsubscribed
-rw-r--r--    1 exim     mail          470 Jun  9 13:21 courierimapuiddb
-rw-r--r--    1 exim     mail         1359 Jun  9 09:34 courierpop3dsizelist
drwx--S---    2 exim     mail         4096 Jun  9 13:25 cur
drwx--S---    5 exim     mail         4096 Jun  9 14:01 .INBOX.Test5
drwx--S---    2 exim     mail         4096 Jun  9 12:50 new
drwx--S---    5 exim     mail         4096 Jun  9 13:25 .test3
drwx--S---    5 exim     mail         4096 Jun  9 14:27 .Test9
drwx--S---    5 exim     mail         4096 Jun  9 13:25 .test folder
drwx--S---    5 exim     mail         4096 Jun  9 13:23 .testing folder
drwx--S---    2 exim     mail         4096 Jun  9 14:27 tmp

Clearly, there are several subfolders that exist here, all of which were
created from the IMP web interface. But IMP can't see them. I've tried
logging out and back in. I've tried "Maildir" instead of "INBOX." for the
folders parameter in servers.php. I've tried manually copying messages
into the new folders from the inbox itself, thinking that maybe they
don't show unless non-empty. Each of these folders has empty "cur", "new",
and "tmp" directories, by the way.

From imp/config/conf.php:

$conf['user']['allow_folders'] = true;

The option to use folder subscriptions is turned off globally and in the
individual user's preferences.

I can't think what else I might be overlooking. Why can I create folders
but then can't see them?

Thanks for any assistance or suggestions.

Scott
