After a bit of perseverence I've got there.  The 'folder path' in
squirrelmail seems to default to 'Mail/' and that was (as you say) being
added to Dovecot's $HOME/Mail.  In addition you can't set the Folder Path
in squirrelmail to nothing, it resets it to 'Mail/'.  I finally tried
setting the folder path to '.' and that allows me to see all my mailboxes.

Now to try getting mutt to see things properly.

Thanks for all your help.
