What kind of account is this? Some IMAP servers (especially those based
on Cyrus) are set up to place all the user's mail in a tree rooted at
Inbox, though this isn't usual (my IMAP accounts don't look like this).
>From the online Help section on Using Folders:

   The Inbox folders on most IMAP servers cannot contain both messages
   and subfolders. When creating additional folders on your IMAP mail
   server, branch the folders from the root of the IMAP account and not
   from the Inbox. Creating subfolders in your Inbox may prevent you
   from reading messages that exist in the Inbox. If this happens, move
   the folders to the IMAP account.
