It still partly looks like a namespace issue.  You probably weren't 
seeing the folders because you would have been subscribed to a slightly 
differently named version of each folder, say with "INBOX." prefixed on 
to it.  Been through the same when changing namespaces here on dumb clients

I bet there is a "folder prefix" option in your client.  There is in 
Outlook Express / Outlook for example.
