If you look at the window where inetd is running, for any imapd command received you should see only a single line like:~~		For what I was able to understand, Inbox can't contain subfolders, nor can Trash, Sent or Drafts folders, while folders created by users can contain other folders within them, but not messages.

	~~spawnning imapd socket=xxxx~~		Creating folders within folders requires manual intervention on the server. Imagine you just started the server and connected with an IMAP client. In ''c:\home\default\mail\username'' you will have the following files:

			Drafts
			Sent
			Trash
			mailbox.lst

			To have a "Friends" folder containing subfolders, you need to

			- manually create ''c:\home\default\mail\username\Friends'' folder and

			- add ''Friends'' to mailbox.lst file

			Then, with Thunderbird you will be able to create subfolders in "Friends" folder. Selecting "Friends" you will get an error message:

			SELECT failed: permissione denied: Friends

			but opening the menu you can safely choose "New subfolder...". '''Note''': you will not be able to move messages into "Friends", but will be able to move messages to "Friends" subfolder(s). I'm currently not able to delete folders from Thunderbird: you will have to do that manually.
