Yes, although oddly the sub-folders don't follow immediately in the dump 
(the folder causing the problem is called "Board"):

user.dsmith.AEC.Correspondence MJD.Board        0 default dsmith 
lrswipkxtecd
user.dsmith.AEC.Correspondence MJD.Board-Facility Planning      0 
default dsmith        lrswipkxtecd
user.dsmith.AEC.Correspondence MJD.Board-Facility Planning.Block 87 
ownership   0 default dsmith        lrswipkxtecd

<snip>

user.dsmith.AEC.Correspondence MJD.Board.Chair Correspondence   0 
default dsmith        lrswipkxtecd
user.dsmith.AEC.Correspondence MJD.Board.Courtesy and arrangements 
0 default dsmith        lrswipkxtecd
user.mduffy.AEC.Correspondence MJD.Board.Exec Committee 0 default dsmith 
        lrswipkxtecd

The messages in the subfolders of Board display without any problems.

This article was written for Thunderbird but also applies to  Mozilla 
Suite / SeaMonkey (though some menu sequences may differ).

A IMAP folder will be displayed in grey italics if the folder has a 
\Noselect flag. Normally this means the folder can contain child 
folders, but not messages. 
[http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=628287] This is a IMAP 
protocol flag, not one of the folder flags that can be set using the 
Folder Flag extension.
