So, why is INBOX.Test listed twice? And why the \Noselect flag?
It is a long standing bug in the LIST command.
I imagine that you have three mailboxes named:
INBOX.Test
INBOX.Test.<something>
INBOX.Test-1
The problem is that "-" sorts before "." in the mailbox list, so the two
"INBOX.Test" entries become separated. The mstringdata() function which
generates each line of output for the LIST and LSUB commands only compares
adjacent entries, so it gets confused by this ordering.
One solution would be to change the sort order (as it happens the flat
backend already sorts '.' before '-'). A small group of us had a
discussion about this last October. I think that we were all rather wary
about messing with the mailbox list sort order: there's a fairly high
potential for breaking things in the process.
