Are you sure that issue is not specific to your dovecot version? Can't reproduce it in standard 0.99.14 install with your default_mail_env setting.
Could you enable info plugin, go to SquirrelMail Options -> IMAP Server Information and run two tests. Show results of 'LSUB "" "*"' and 'LIST "" "*"' commands. Commands are similar to TEST_7 and TEST_8. TEST_0 is not needed. Make sure that mail directory is owned by your user and not by some other user. jean:/home/test/mail# ls -la total 4 drwxr-xr-x 3 test test 75 2007-03-04 23:50 . drwxr-xr-x 3 test test 70 2007-03-04 23:44 .. -rw------- 1 test test 0 2007-03-04 23:46 Drafts drwx------ 6 test test 54 2007-03-04 23:46 .imap -rw------- 1 test test 0 2007-03-04 23:46 Sent -rw------- 1 test test 18 2007-03-04 23:46 .subscriptions -rw------- 1 test test 0 2007-03-04 23:46 Trash Dovecot does not add INBOX prefix to folder names.
