Timo -
Thanks for the reply.
I know it _LOOKS_ like I set the prefix, but I did not.
In the prefs, my IMAP Path Prefix is blank.
I discovered, that Mail.app puts the non-prefixed folders directly into the sidebar, which is kind of whacky, but I can live with. Prefixed folders go under the inbox.
I don't get it, but it seems to be working ok, so I'll live with it.
I also duplicated this on another mac so its not just my box being wonky.
Thanks

I'm having a problem with Mail.app and imap folders. I've got a new install of dovecot 1.0beta2, and am only experiencing this problem with Mail. Mutt works as expected, as well as thunderbird.
When I create a folder using Mail.app, it is written to ~/Maildir/.INBOX.newfolder, which would be fine, if I wasn't telling everything that I wanted no prefixes. If I move that folder to ~/Maildir/.newfolder, Mail.app can no longer see it, but mutt and thunderbird can. Thunderbird _CAN_ see the folders created as .INBOX.Folder, and even shows it as a subfolder of my inbox, but Mutt completely refuses to see it.
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong here?
Looks like you've set IMAP prefix to "INBOX." in Mail.app's configuration. Remove that.
