Hi Jacob,

You don't need to specify the "mail/" prefix for the IMAP server any 
longer.  This became unnecessary when imap.uvm.edu moved to Dovecot back 
in early 2010.

Helen's suggestion (turning off folder subscriptions, or subscribing to 
the sent-mail and received-mail folders) is a good one.  I took a look 
at your account and the folders exist, but you are not subscribed to them.
