I am not sure exactly where the problem is here. I am using a sieve script
that sorts various incoming messages into their own mailbox. MS Outlook does
not show those folders if they are not directly under INBOX.

EXAMPLE:

drwx------  31 vmail  vmail   1.0K 2014-07-19 14:46:55 EDT ./
drwx------   3 vmail  vmail   512B 2014-07-02 13:52:03 EDT ../

drwx------   2 vmail  vmail   512B 2014-07-02 14:15:43 EDT new/

In the above example, only the following are displayed:

.INBOX.Deleted Items/
.INBOX.Drafts/
.INBOX.Junk E-mail/
.INBOX.PSNC/
.INBOX.SGWASA/
.INBOX.Sent Items/
.INBOX.UNRBA/

Do I have a configuration problem?
