Wasn't listed directly at all.  It is a subdirectory of
/home/67goat/mailbox and contains mail "folders" (files), some of which
I have subscribed to.

I cleaned out the file, since it seemed to have a lot of duplicate
subscriptions to the same folder, just using different access methods.
EX:
 mailbox/Evolution
 /home/67goat/mailbox/Evolution

Evolution didn't like that, so I connected using WebMail and subscribed
to folders again.  Went and look, and noticed that it used the "short"
notation (mailbox/Evolution from the example above).  So start up Evo,
remove the account (seems like changing the namespace for an existing
account does nothing - except cause mail component to crash), blow away
~/evolution/imap/*, re-add the account using "mailbox/" as the namespace
(since that was in the WebMail configuration).  Went to subscribe to
folders, and viola! it showed everything - and was already subscribed
(since I did that with the WebMail).  Went to the folder list.... same
as before.  I have an INBOX, Trash, and web.  Went back to the
subscribe, and picked a folder that I hadn't subscribed to, subscribed
to it, went to the folder list, and there it was.... under the "mailbox"
folder.  ARGH!  Exit, killev, oaf-slay, restart... back to just INBOX,
Trash, and web *&^%$!

I'll give it one more try and use the full path for the namespace and
see what happens.  I'll report when done cursing (no, I have no faith
that it will work - I've been *&^%ing with this for way too many hours).
