Created mailboxes are not showing up.

[JLB]

Thank you for the info, Ken. Perhaps I should be more verbose:

I do not know HOW to set up a "sub-folder". And when I try (using
SquirrelMail) to set up a new "folder" (as SquirrelMail calls them), I
get:

You can try it yourself.

Curiously, I ALSO cannot create new folders under the 'old' account, whose
'subfolders' (Drafts, Sent, Sent Items (yes, redundant), and Trash) work
fine...

Heeeeelp! :(
