I sometimes see what you see, but I sometimes get a whole sub-folder
tree of spurious 'mbox' ids even when the top folder has messages.  I'm
racking my brains trying to find a distinguishing criterion.  The same
folders always give the same results.  I'd send you a problem folder
tree, but so far I've only been able to provoke the bogus results on
private folders, such as those containing financial information :-/
