I have made sure Evo is subscribed to all folders, and on the mail server the file courierimapsubscribed 
contains the correct list of folders. I still have the problem that the shared folders disappear from the Evo 
folder pane after 10 minutes (this is also my mail check interval).
I have updated pastebin but the output is essentially the same (though being unfamiliar with IMAP output I 
could be mistaken!)
What can I do next? Courier seems not to use the \Subscribed flag, though it is only the #shared filters that 
disappear.
