Having a freshly installed debian-woody stable with courier-imap i cannot get
mozilla use the special folders because of the error "invalif Mailbox"

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create an account with mozilla (imap server directory is blank by default)
2. in advanced server settings set imap server drectory to "INBOX." (without ")
3. reload folder list
4. try to access any other folder than inbox
5. Get the Invalid mailbox error

Actual Results:  
The current command did not succed. The server responded: Invalid mailbox.

Expected Results:  
No errors and a list of emails in the folder.

OE6 have no problems whatsoever with listing the folders and the emails in them.
Also if you doesn't specify the imap server directory no errors occur but all
folders are subfolders of inbox and thus have not the special icons.

Ok, the main problem you describe is a result of bug 80858 and as such is a
duplicate. The second problem you mention of special folders not getting
recognized when left under the inbox was fixed a while back but I'm not sure if
it was before or after 09/10 (which is when the last part of you user agent is
telling us your build was pulled from the mozilla tree). Please try it with a
recent build and open a new bug if you still see the problem.
