So the problems from your previous email are solved?

To what is $folder set now? Try adding INBOX or INBOX. to the present
value.

If that doesn't work, this may:

  imap_home_namespace

  Type: string
  Default: "" 

  You normally want to see your personal folders alongside your INBOX in
  the IMAP browser. If you see something else, you may set this variable
  to the IMAP path to your folders.
