[Dovecot] Manually creating folders from terminal

[A. J. Giurato]

This is true.  Sorry.  That is how I have it.  The .INBOX's directories are in the root
.maildir/{cur,tmp,new}

The subscriptions file did it.  As recommended by Rod, I added the mailbox directories I was creating to .maildir/subscriptions.  Now Thunderbird and SquirrelMail see them.

Thanks to all.
