Okay, point taken!  I know that the INBOX. namespace definitely  
doesn't work the way I wanted it with Mail.app.  I'll try removing it  
and leaving the INBOX/ namespace and seeing if Thunderbird can handle  
that.  I have to wait until my most important customer (i.e. my  
wife :) won't need her email for a bit.

Thanks,
