After createing numerous subfolders OF subfolders using Mozilla 1.6 and copying
emails into them I am no longer able to see them when I open up mozilla mail...

I know that the messages are there and the IMAP server is working fine because
Ximian is able to view all of these subfolders and messages that are within them..

The subfolders are all showing up in the Subscribe window but are not present in
the list for browesing through the messages..

BIG pain..
and I though I finally had this IMAP thing going..

Thanks
   Richard

OK, this is probably fixed in 1.7. Are you using imap subscription (mail &
newsgroup account settings) imap server | advanced | show only subscribed
folders. If you've turned off that checkbox, you'll need to either use 1.7, or
turn that checkbox back on.

If you expand and collapse the parent folders, do the child folders show up?

Hi
 That worked :)
some other instructions I found said to turn that checkbox off..

I'll see how it goes with it set and get back to you in about 24hours..

You're much better off using subscription. The only valid reason I've heard not
to use subscription is if some other app is creating folders in your account,
but not subscribing you to them...
