I use UW-IMAP with mbx... That is, all messages are stored in a single
file, which is seen by the client as a selectable folder containing
messages. Physical folders that contain these files should be
non-selectable.
For instance, the default setting on my system (ClarkConnect 2.2) is as
follows:
/var/mail/user-id
Inbox
/home/user-id/
.mailboxlist
/home/user-id/mail/
Sent
Drafts
Outbox
Trash
mail/ should non-selectable. Moreover, you cannot see this folder using
Squirrelmail (albeit there may be an option to view these folders) and
in Thunderbird the folder is visible (grey) but non-selectable.

This is set to /home/user-id/ but it makes little difference either way.
One thing I have noticed is that TB! sometimes takes an inordinate
amount of time to refresh the folder list and after this is done _all_
folders are grey with the exception of Inbox, (Sent and Outbox*.) They
only return to black after a restart or if I Abort all in the CC.
However, as soon as another folder is selected all folders not processed
return to grey.
Also, TB! sometimes seems to get bogged down executing a command (e.g.
scanning a folder) with loads of other commands queued up... then
it's time for a restart (or frequent use of Abort all.)
Overall the latest build is a very good IMAP experience. However, I do
use Procmail for filtering now.
*These are local folders. I use a local Sent Mail folder and then
automatically copy messages to the server's Sent folder.
