Yes, and unlike OE for Windows, you don't have to subscribe to any IMAP folders, it detects them upon next launch.

did this change in panther? [i don't remember it having this capability in jaguar]?

can you create the folders in OS X [for imap]?

or does the folders have to be created elsewhere?

nope - i think it pretty much always worked in Mail.app, and yes, you can create them right in Mail, no need to create them elsewhere.

Does the name include the square brackets? (just an idea)

try right-clicking the mailbox and choosing "Synchronise..."

No, it does not include the brackets

It just doesn't show up in mail.app anywhere?

my ISP is changing it's email policy, and created an "Old Mail" folder that I want backed up...... before it's deleted
