Please see:
http://bugs.horde.org/ticket/?id=1620
for a proposed fix.  Long story short - UW-IMAP will of course have 
it's INBOX flagged as \NoInferiors in a default mailbox setup since the 
INBOX normally lives in a totally different directory (i.e. 
/var/spool/mail vs. ~mail) from the user mailboxes.  So we can't use 
NOINFERIORS as a check.  Instead, just catch the case when we are 
trying to add 'INBOX' at a level other than the base level and skip 
this case if it occurs.
