Mailbox does not exist question (NO it is NOT the answer!)

The telnet session is listed in full below.

Snip:
client: a2 LIST "" "*"
                      <<< should be a list here containing something!
server: a2 OK Completed (0.000 secs)

Expected response like this: * LIST (\Unmarked \HasChildren) "." "INBOX"

How do I enable telemetry logging ? I tried creating /var/lib/imap/log/test
but this remains empty!

The mailbox exists and has been written, ie contains email messages. (see my
earlier posts).
