Sorry to contradict myself: just above the statements I was speculating
about in the prior message I have:

[GroupwareFolderInfo]
.1471011635.directory/.INBOX.directory/Calendar-changes=1
.1471011635.directory/.INBOX.directory/Calendar-storageFormat=xml
.1471011635.directory/.INBOX.directory/Contacts-changes=1
.1471011635.directory/.INBOX.directory/Contacts-storageFormat=xml
.1471011635.directory/.INBOX.directory/Journal-storageFormat=xml
.1471011635.directory/.INBOX.directory/Notes-changes=1
.1471011635.directory/.INBOX.directory/Notes-storageFormat=xml
.1471011635.directory/.INBOX.directory/Tasks-changes=1
.1471011635.directory/.INBOX.directory/Tasks-storageFormat=xml
.1471011635.directory/shared.family contacts-changes=1
.1471011635.directory/shared.family contacts-storageFormat=xml

Here the respective folder is clearly listed.

I'm at a loss.
