I didn't get the solution that I wanted. I wanted there to be a software
way to configure the server to only show mailbox folders because we have
webmail software that uses this IMAP server, and this software does not
appear to have a show only subscribed folders option. But the solution
that I got from Chad Campbell was in netscape, make sure the option
"show only subscribed folders" is checked. This helped out on the PC's
running Netscape, but I still need a solution for our webmail software.

We had the same type of problem running the U. Wash. IMAP server. The
solution for us was to turn on the "show only subscribed folders" in the
Netscape client. If your client doesn't have such an option, there
might be an option to explicitly define a mail directory. Netscape
refers to this as the "IMAP server directory."
