Selecting the appropriate default mailbox to open is beyond the scope of the example. It assumes "inbox" is the right thing, which is true for many servers.
Well, that's untrue, the example lets the user select the mailbox to use from the results of LIST *, and doesn't assume anything about inbox. But, "INBOX" is the right default mailbox for *all* servers, according to the IMAP RFC. Perhaps the issue here is that the server doesn't show the "INBOX" special mailbox in its LIST response. I think that's pretty common. James
