So am I.

Technically, it's a bug in neither. Mutt's IMAP support requires the 
CHILDREN IMAP extension to operate the way you want, and stable Binc 
doesn't support any extensions. If you feel like testing out Binc 1.3.x, 
it already supports the CHILDREN extension, and should work the way you 
want.

Technically, in mutt, hitting the return key on a folder to see its 
contents is a shortcut. After all, a folder with children can indeed 
contain mail. You're *supposed* to use the spacebar to "select" a 
folder, but mutt put a shortcut in for if a folder has no subfolders. 
The thing is, mutt requires the CHILDREN extension to make that decision 
(it doesn't do a "list all folders" to find out that information).

Hope that helps,
