Accessing subfolders of INBOX via IMAP?

Hey all. Has anyone discovered how to access subfolders of their inbox on an IMAP account? Most of my mail is automatically sorted into folders beneath my inboxes, but I can only seem to access the inbox itself and other folders at that level. Oddly, folders at that level OTHER than the inbox show me their subfolders just fine.
This is doubly frustrating because Mail.app doesn't allow creation of folders anywhere BUT beneath the inbox; that's the only reason I have them there. 
Thanks in advance!

No, I haven't gotten this working either. Mail.app on my MacBook Pro has no path prefix set and it works fine with my IMAP server. I've tried "/", "/INBOX", and "/INBOX/". They all work fine for messages in my main inbox, but it still won't list the folders beneath INBOX.

This works for me after I added the IMAP prefix in Mail.app of "INBOX" and then re-syncing. I use Dreamhost IMAP server.
Before I changed this, Mail.app showed all my mailboxes for the account under my local "Inbox" on my Mac (little box icon)... the contents were being synced with the IMAP server, but I think the list of mailboxes itself was not.
After adding IMAP prefix, Mail.app shows all the mailboxes under the account itself (little globe icon), below my local inbox. Now they are all synced with IMAP (if I create a mailbox in webmail it shows up in Mail.app). Mailboxes are all shown in iPhone now.

Protension,
Are you talking about Mail.app or Mail on iPhone?

I changed the settings in Mail.app so that it had the correct IMAP path prefix. (Before doing this my mailboxes showed up in Mail.app but not in iPhone mail)
Then I synced with iPhone to copy new mail account settings over.
Then all the folders for that account showed up in iPhone next to the inbox.

I have a Dreamhost account and I just typed in "INBOX" for the path in the advanced mail settings in the iPhone (not Apple Mail.app) and now all my folders appear nicely on the iPhone.

Weird, I could have sworn I tried that first. Works great now. iPhone FTW!
Thanks,
