Re: folder subscribe problem

Well I subscribe to the inbox with no problems.  I just found it
easier to edit by hand as it seemed rather complicated to use the
folder manager.  Other imap settings are OK, this is how I read the
mail!  I just said %inbox when subscribing to the main part of the
tree.  On the server the  Deleted Items folder name is preceeded by a
. character.  Does that make a difference?
