Created mailboxes are not showing up.

[Tim Pushor]

Jessica,

I suspect that you must configure squirrelmail to use INBOX as the 
'root' of your folder creation. I suspect its trying to make folders 
called .foldername when it should be INBOX.foldername

This could be why the ones you have made programatically do not show up 
either.

FYI the subscriptions are in 
$config_dir/user/first_letter_of_mailbox_name/mailboxname.sub
