SquirrelMail can collapse only subfolders. Subfolders are folders that have
parent folders.

If all your mbox files (except INBOX) are in ~/Mail/, SquirrelMail can't
collapse anything. All folders are top folders.

See screenshots with collapsible folders in Cyrus and Dovecot
http://yfrog.com/1nnuotrauka4p

In Cyrus all personal folders are under INBOX. So I can collapse them with -
sign next to INBOX. In Dovecot folders are not under INBOX, I can't collapse
all folders, but I can collapse subfolders of Trash (folder listing in the
right, + sign indicates collapsed folders) or Sent (same folder listing, -
sign indicates collapsible folders)

Thunderbird works correctly because this program has account name above
folder listing. You collapse account in Dovecot. See how folders are
positioned differently in Cyrus and Dovecot. http://yfrog.com/n8nuotrauka6p
. SquirrelMail is usually used with only one account and has very basic
namespace support, so there was no point to implement collapsible "Personal
folders" or "Account No1 and only" header in left folder listing.

Standard SquirrelMail package includes info plugin. If you enable this
plugin in SquirrelMail configuration utility (conf.pl), you can find "IMAP
server information" in webmail "Options" page. You can find conf.pl utility
in SquirrelMail config directory. /usr/share/squirrelmail/config/ on RHEL

Default TEST_7 command shows list of subscribed folders
Default TEST_8 command shows list of all folders
TEST_9 is not set by default.

Info plugin allows you to run IMAP commands on server the easy way. If you
want the hard way, you can always fire up 'telnet your-imap-server 143' and
do black magic there.
