Yes, you're right, there's something weird going on here! I tried 
marking my (Cyrus) INBOX as Inbox, and upped the scan depth. As you 
wrote, the tree still isn't found.

However, if I rescan the root of the IMAP folder tree, it *is* found 
(though INBOX as Inbox is still a plain mailbox at the top level, in 
addition to appearing in the tree). So if you don't mind the manual 
rescan, you can in fact get access to the whole tree--at least, if your 
Cyrus server behaves the same as mine. Not entirely satisfactory, I 
agree!
