These messages are normal if you are not running Squat to index your
messages.  Squat creates indexes of messages so text searches of mailboxes
are faster.  You don't have to run Squat, and we do not run it here on our
user mailboxes.

I don't know how the HEAD version of IMP does it, but in the stable
version you must set your "folders" attribute correctly in
config/servers.php.  It should be set to the IMAP root folder prefix.  By
default in Cyrus it is "INBOX." (including the trailing dot).  If you have
set "altnamespace: yes" in your Cyrus imapd.conf, then the root folder
prefix is "" (blank).
