[imp] Empty message list

I am having the SAME exact problem. I have recompilied many different version of the c-client. I have used c-client 2002, 2002a, 2002b, etc, etc all the way to c-client 2002e (the latest). However nothing works. My settings are:

     'folders' => 'INBOX.',
     'namespace' => '',

However I have tried many combinations. Nothing works.

The docuementation says NOT to set both. However, setting either makes no difference.

This makes no difference. If you are using Cyrus you should set it to "INBOX." Note the trailing dot...

Again, makes no difference...
