Probably the IMAP INBOX case sensitivity problem has been fixed at r3191
and Sylpheed 3.3.1/3.4.0beta1.

2013-01-22

        * libsylph/imap.c: made "INBOX" case insensitive (follow RFC 3501).

If you created an account before those versions, probably you should recreate
the account or modify ~/.sylpheed-2.0/folderlist.xml by hand.
