        Really? I get the entire tree of folders immediately.... from
my server buffer:

K      0: Public-Folders
K      0: Public-Folders/Contacts
K      0: Public-Folders/Contacts/Clients
K      0: Public-Folders/Contacts/Clients/[foo]
K      0: Public-Folders/Contacts/Clients/[bar]
K      0: Public-Folders/Contacts/Clients/[baz]
K      0: Public-Folders/Contacts/Clients/[quux]

and similarly in *Group* after 'A A':

       *: nnimap+primeon:Public-Folders
       *: nnimap+primeon:Public-Folders/Contacts
       *: nnimap+primeon:Public-Folders/Contacts/Clients
       *: nnimap+primeon:Public-Folders/Contacts/Clients/[foo]
       *: nnimap+primeon:Public-Folders/Contacts/Clients/[bar]
       *: nnimap+primeon:Public-Folders/Contacts/Clients/[baz]
       *: nnimap+primeon:Public-Folders/Contacts/Clients/[quux]

      
        What you describe sounds like the result of running 
(roughly) the imap command 'LIST "" "%"' instead of 'LIST ""
"*%"'. Have you tweaked nnimap-list-pattern at all? Check the
*imap-log* buffer and see what the actual LIST command sent was.
