changing imap mailboxes in mutt

I use Athena's Mutt 1.4i with IMAP. I have several sub-folders to my
inbox. These subfolders were created using Evolution, and contain
mail messages. However, I cannot see these messages when I change
mailboxes in Mutt. 

Pressing 'c' to open another mailbox, the mailbox directory lists: 

1   IMAP +	  INBOX.
2   IMAP +	  INBOX.

Entering either of these gives me a list of my sub-folders: 

1   IMAP	../
2   IMAP +	folder1.
3   IMAP +	folder2.
[etc]

When I enter one of these sub-folders, Mutt does not see any
messages. However, when I start Mutt from the prompt with:

"mutt -f imap://mibras@po14.mit.edu/INBOX.folder1" 

the messages display without a problem.

Any ideas on how to fix this? 

Thank you, 
 
    Michael
