Well, surprise, surprise.  Using "/home/67goat/mailbox" as the
namespace: Was able to subscribe folders, saw nothing in the folder bar
except for INBOX, Trash, and web.  Restarted Evo, segfault in mail
component.  Blasted the processes, restarted, now just INBOX and Trash. 
Yup, they're still listed as subscribed.  So I decided to do a trick, I
blasted the processes, went into ~/evolution/mail/imap/67goat*/folders
and created a folder called 300ZX (which exists in the namespace, and is
subscribed to).  Restart Evo twice (crash the first time), now 300ZX
shows, but if I try to access it, it says "imap://67goat pocket0/300ZX
does not exist".

Basically, some code is NOT respecting the namespace, since it should
have been included in the path (like:
imap://67goat pocket0/home/67goat/mailbox/300ZX), since THAT is where it
is in my namespace.


TTFN,
