imap inbox folder not shown

[gima...@gmail.com]

Hey All,

I just installed alpine on a hardy heron ubuntu linux laptop. I am
trying to access imap mail folders from 'a small orange' (my shared
hosting account)

I am setting this up according to what I read here at
http://support.cs.utah.edu/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=49&Itemid=80

Briefly,
{
Hit S to enter Setup
Hit L to enter collectionLists
Create a new entry by hitting A
This will bring up a page listing the options for this collectionList.
Please make sure the Server and and Path lines are set up like this,
with your SoC Facility username in place of username (the Nickname can
be whatever you want to call it, and the View can be left blank):
Nickname : IMAP folders
Server : imap.cs.utah.edu/user=username/ssl
Path : INBOX.
View :
Hit ^X to save, and then e to exit back to the main menu
}

This almost works, however with a major caveat. All the IMAP folders
(JUNK, DRAFT, SENT) are displayed, but the INBOX (the most important
IMHO)

Has anyone experienced this before??
