Ahh. This is the bit that I did not grasp.  I did not understand
what the instruction "For both methods, if 'mailfolder' is more than
one level deep, you will need to conform to the hierarchy separator
appropriate to your site" was telling me.

Your example makes it clear what my error was.  Perhaps providing a
similar example in the FAQ would help to make this clearer to others
as well.

Thank you,
