Correct name for Inbox with Courier IMAP

I wanted to build an awesome place for people to discuss module specific issues, but I don't have any more time for this, and there are much better places to discuss Perl-related issues. I'd recommend asking your question on Stack Overflow or on Perl Monks.
If you are looking for a Perl tutorial or Perl-related news, I hope these links will serve you well.

I'm trying to use a 3rd party tool to read a mailbox & parse then emails for input to a wiki. The sole parameter is a string like: imap://twiki:XXXX@brightcarvings.com

If I leave it like that I get:

substr outside of string at /usr/lib64/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/Email/Folder/IMAP.pm line 34, <GEN0> l +ine 2.

If I put: imap://twiki:XXXX@brightcarvings.com/

I get:

imap://twiki:XXXX@brightcarvings.com/ does not exist at /usr/lib64/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/Email/Fold +er.pm line 81

I try: imap://twiki:XXXX@brightcarvings.com/INBOX

and I get nothing back, no error or email. The Imap service is Courier & I take it I am specifying the inbox incorrectly. Can someone tell me what I should be feeding in? Or is there a simple way I can call something to list the available folders?
