I've managed to resolve my issue, and it appears that there is some 
inconsistency with login credentials.

When accessing via the browser I use the UUID/password pair, which is 
what I was trying with the IMAP clients, this would log me in but would 
show an empty folder list, and no matter what client I used to query the 
server for folders it would show nothing. The working credentials are 
actually my full primary.email at address/password pair. Is there a 
particular reason why I need to use my full email address and not UUID, 
or why does one work but not the other yet it's fine via the web?

Thanks,

Andy
