In the Folder Settings page of SquirrelMail's server configuration (i.e.
when you run "config/conf.pl" from the SquirrelMail base directory), it
specifies that the default folder 'prefix' is indeed INBOX.

understand the concept of "OK kids, every time you want to create a
folder, its name has to start with "INBOX" and then a dot." C'mon now. ;)
