client.Inbox returns null

Hi Jeff,
I am facing a problem with only one of my mailboxes.
When I use the sample code shown on the repo's homepage (IMAP section)

// The Inbox folder is always available on all IMAP servers...
var inbox = client.Inbox;

inbox variable returns null.

After inspection of the code, it appears that the problem is in the "QuerySpecialFolders" method (ImapEngine.cs)

if (!FolderCache.TryGetValue ("INBOX", out folder)) {
    //Some Code
    Inbox = list.Count > 0 ? list[0] : null;
}

With this email account FolderCache already contains Inbox folder, therefore the Inbox variable is never assigned.

Workaround :

if (!FolderCache.TryGetValue ("INBOX", out folder)) {
    // Some code
}else {
    Inbox = folder;
}

Now it works but I don't know if it's the right way..
I can create an email account for Tests if you need it

Your fix is absolutely correct - thanks!

I'm guessing that your IMAP server uses INBOX as the namespace? (probably Cyrus IMAP?)

Yes this IMAP uses INBOX as the namespace! (OVH)
