I saw .Trash under ~/.maildir/ and deleted it. However, when I open
Outlook Express, I still see Inbox there. Before I used Mozilla to test
the IMAP, Outlook Express showed nothing. Where can I find the Inbox node?

If I create a .whatever maildir under ~/.maildir/, then I can see it from
IMAP client under the Inbox node.
Do I have to create ~/.maildir as a maildir? I mean whether I need cur,
new, tmp for the ~/.maildir itself? For me, I just create it as a normal
folder while ~/.maildir/inbox is the real inbox on my box.
Thanks for the responses!
