That is a logout... did you try a login?  As you don't really mention
anything about versions of any of your software we can only but guess
possible problems.

  1. You've not setup the users Maildirs
  2. You have a rather huge inbox, and you don't have server side sort
enabled
  3. You have a rather huge inbox, and you have SM filters enabled to
check all emails
  4. User doesn't have permissions to select INBOX.
  5. You have server side threading enabled, and your INBOX is huge

There are 5 possibles right off the bat... with more details about your
setup including plugins and that fun stuff, it might be easier for us to
tell you what is going on.

As a side note, did you check your log files?
