It really depends on how your server is configured.  My 'guess' is that the
/imp/config/servers.php needs to be changed to however mozilla is set-up. 
Folders or name space.  On my old UW server I had the folders set to /Mail.  Now
it is possible that the reason you see just some folders in Mozilla mail is
because of subscriptions....You are probably only subscribed to user created
folders by default in Mozilla Mail.  In IMP, the 'usual' default is to not use
folder subscriptions and show all folders.  It's in options then server
information, to enable subscriptions in IMP.
