Mutt with IMAP not listing subscribed folders with new mail

[p@…]

I am not sure, if this is a bug.

Mutt 1.5.15+20070412 (2007-04-11) with patches from Ubuntu does not show new messages in subscribed folder.

Accessing the Maildir directly shows there are new messages in my subfolders.

Here's hopefully helpful debug output:

I have attached muttdebug0 as file. Credentials and Authentication Session have been replaced.

Is this still the case with 1.5.17 or 1.5.18?

This is almost certainly a duplicate of http://dev.mutt.org/trac/ticket/2897. His .muttdebug0 shows that his IMAP server uses "." as directory separator, and he has a sub-directory as folder. He doesn't show his inboxes config entry, but he probably enters relative paths there, like most people do.

I added a comment in 2897 with a workaround which works for me.
