Actually, I ended up figuring it out. I removed the RealMail virtual changing all to just select all from *, set the all mail virtual to 'hidden=yes, list=no' and left the threaded virtual alone and it worked. Unrelated to this, but since I wanted these folders to be top level, and thus they're empty namespaces, setting hidden=yes, list=yes on the threaded virtual allowed it to work correctly with Thunderbird. Without hidden=yes, Thunderbird complained that the folder didn't exist. I hope this helps others, Dan
