I tried this yesterday. For INBOX it would simply list "INBOX" - but only
after I introduced my fix. Before that, it would print whatever I happened
to type in for "Mailbox Name" in the properties dialogue. For other
mailboxes, it would list <prefix>[/<folder>[/<subfolder>..]]/mailbox.

Note, though, that I hadd to add my inbox separately - it is not included
by New->Remote IMAP folder, at least not if I want to use a folder prefix
(and I do as the IMAP server will otherwise list everything on my home
directory as folders/mailboxes)
