Well, if I login to webmail I only see one mailbox. Also:
1 OK LOGIN Ok.
2 LIST
2 NO Error in IMAP command received by server.
2 LIST """%"
* LIST (\Marked \HasChildren) "." "INBOX"
2 OK LIST completed

I did something yesterday that seems to have fixed the issue for the
moment but your suggestion maybe be more 'proper'. I figured that since
Courier IMAP defaults to INBOX as the root and all other folders are
subs I could point Evo to INBOX as the root rather than just ~/Mail as I
had done.
This fixed the display issue. Now I only have the one showing as
"Inbox". If INBOX is truly the root then I'm not mising anything by
starting the folder tree there right?
