Vista - IMAP Inbox won't download.

Hello:

I'm using Vista build 5536 and IMAP to connect to Exchange Server 2003. I
cannot select or download the Inbox folder from the server. All the other
folders download just fine.

Is there something I'm doing wrong?

I am having the exact same problem with two different IMAP servers, one
using UW-Imap and the other using Dovecot. Oddly enough I can select to
"Goto" the folder and it will download all messages and stay visible until I
restart mail... then I have to do it again.

I was having this same issue. I created a new folder called "Inbox" which
will throw up an error that you're already subscribed and so on. But after
doing that the Inbox folder shows up persistently between opening and closing
of WM.

I was having the same problem - I found that it depended on the IMAP service
I was using. I'm not sure of the details behind it but on one of my accounts
it works and the other it doesn't.
