that's the maildir store.
and obviously, you can't have two contradicting Paths in one store.

that's not exactly what is supposed to happen.
INBOX is magic in that it isn't rooted in the normal hierarchy, but is
"free-flying" (that allows ~/mail/ as the namespace and
/var/spool/mail/$USER as the INBOX on a traditional unix account).
the consequence is that maildirs that are named INBOX but do not map
back to the actual inbox (specified with Inbox) are ignored. you would
also get a warning from mbsync that this is happening.
fwiw, i just found a (somewhat minor bug): assuming a Path of ~/Maildir,
a mailbox named foo.INBOX (path ~/Maildir/foo/.INBOX) will be ignored,
but there is no reason to do that (because the unqualified name does not
start with INBOX). but this is not what you are seeing, as then you'd
also get no subfolders of this INBOX.

in short, i have no clue what is happening. i'll have a look somewhen
later, but that may take a few weeks.
