Those two files are not interchangeable, they just serve the same 
purpose. Courier uses a "." to separate folders, while Binc uses a "/". 
the .bincimap-subscribed should look like this:

    INBOX/foo
    INBOX/bar
    INBOX/bar/foobar

I doubt it. If Binc does not have read access to that other partition, 
then that could be a problem, but Binc has no problem following links.

Ahhhh, I see. Evolution thinks that the subfolder separator is . rather 
than / - I have no idea where in Evolution's config you can set that (it 
*should* auto-detect that). Maybe it only auto-detects it when you first 
set up the account? Perhaps try setting up a new account in Evolution 
for binc, and see if it realizes what's going on.
