Folders do not display in SquirrelMail for my Inbox

Ever since the system was changed to the new mail format, the folders no longer show in my SquirrelMail program. When I access the SquirrelMail program I get a notice saying "Invalid mailbox name" or similar errors in RED on the left side of the page.

To resolve the display of the Inbox, Sent and Trash folders, please follow these steps:

Access SquirrelMail with your email account
Click Folders at the top of the page
Scroll to the bottom and select ALL FOLDERS and then SUBSCRIBE to them
Click Options at the top of the page
Click Folder Preferences
Using the dropdown menu, select the folders for Trash, Drafts and Sent
At the bottom click SUBMIT

This will need to be done on EACH email account that you use to access SquirrelMail. We have hunted for an automated script to do this for clients, but there is not available at the moment. If one becomes available we will initiate the task for all clients.
