Subject: Mixed folders w/IMAP to MSIE

My "root" folder on my MS Exchange 5.5 server is my "inbox", and contains
both new messages and the folder tree into which I've sorted other messages.
When I use pine (4.21 on current Mandrake/RedHat Linux) I can not see the
messages, only the folders.  Other IMAP software (Outlook Express) can see
both the folders and the messages.

Can I configure Pine to correctly show both messages and folders within the
same folder?

If I'm remembering correctly, I think this is a known bug in older
versions of pine.  Names on an imap server can be a mailbox or a folder
or both at once -- it's a server configuration issue.  Pine 4.21 fails
to cope with a name that is *both* a mailbox and a folder.

I believe that pine4.30 and later fixed this bug.

I can see the messages in my inbox, but I don't have subfolders within inbox if that is where you are talking about.  I do have other folders that are not under the inbox folder and I can see messages that I have put in them.

Thanks,
Preston
