Ok - what's the version on your frontend?  If that's running 2.4.1
(and restarted) then it should be filtering out the \Noselect flag
if (and only if) the mailbox exists in murder.

All your "LSUB" response is coming from the Inbox server - and it
has \Noselect for all the folders that aren't on that same server.
The frontend the passes this to pipe_lsub (in imap_proxy.c) which
filters the \Noselect flag off.

There was a bug in 2.4.0 (and presumably earlier, I didn't touch
that code before) where it wasn't removing \Noselect, despite a
comment to the effect that it should be.  Upgrade your frontend
to 2.4.1 and that will be fixed.
