I think the problem may be the folder delimiter and/or the name of
the root level of the folder tree. Both of these are dealt with best
by the NAMESPACE IMAP extension, which isn't implemented in Binc 1.2.

Right, the period is the folder delimiter in Courier.

No folder delimiter at all. This will just list the INBOX folder, but
not any of it's subfolders.

Try

2 list "" "INBOX/%"

since slash is the folder delimiter used in Binc.

Also, there's a way to enter the root-level folder name in
Thunderbird, which is neccessary if you're using a Maildir++ depot,
but not if you're using an IMAPdir depot.

SquirrelMail is just another IMAP client, so I think the only program
accessing the message store is the IMAP server, be it Courier or
Binc.
