Re: [Evolution] Inbox

[Jeffrey Stedfast <fejj ximian com>]

You had never subscribed to INBOX, thus your server either marked it as
\NoSelect in the LSUB response or else Evolution filled in empty nodes
(in this case INBOX) and marked it as \NoSelect since we didn't get a
response back saying it was there.

I have a patch floating around that auto-subscribes you to your INBOX,
so this "problem" is solved.
