I am forwarding the message outlining the configuration issues which
caused my problem together with the solution that solved it. Yours
may be different. But this worked for me.
Using SM conf.pl go to IMAP server settings and check the delimiter
setting (no.9).

IMAP-3.0 introduced the following change from 2.4:
"Important config options: unixhierarchysep: and altnamespace: defaults
have changed in imapd.conf(5). Implications are outlined in the Note
in User Namespace Mode and Switching the Alternative Namespace. Please
also see “Sieve Scripts,” below."
Because of this and of the environment that we use it was necessary to
employ '/' instead of '.' on our new imap site.

You have provided the answer. Thank you. It never crossed my mind
that changes to imap.conf would have any effect on the folder display in
Squirrelmail.
Very sincerely,
