10 years ago The 'personal' folder is expected to have an empty name on GMail, but getting the subfolders should at least return the following 2 folders: "INBOX" and "[Gmail]" (or, at least, it does for me).
It should also list your top-level "Label" folders (or, at least, it does for me).
Here's a little test program I'm using:
using System;
using System.Net;
using System.Threading;
using MailKit.Net.Imap;
using MailKit.Search;
using MailKit;
using MimeKit;
namespace TestClient {
class Program
{
public static void Main (string[] args)
{
using (var client = new ImapClient (new ProtocolLogger (Console.OpenStandardOutput ()))) {
var credentials = new NetworkCredential ("username@gmail.com", "password");
var uri = new Uri ("imaps://imap.gmail.com");
using (var cancel = new CancellationTokenSource ()) {
client.Connect (uri, cancel.Token);
// Note: Since we don't have an OAuth2 token, disable
// the XOAUTH2 authentication mechanism.
client.AuthenticationMechanisms.Remove ("XOAUTH2");
client.Authenticate (credentials, cancel.Token);
// Get the first personal namespace and list the toplevel folders under it.
var personal = client.GetFolder (client.PersonalNamespaces[0]);
foreach (var folder in personal.GetSubfolders (false, cancel.Token))
Console.WriteLine ("[folder] {0}", folder.Name);
client.Disconnect (true, cancel.Token);
}
}
}
}
}and here is the output when connecting to my test GMail account:

S: A00000006 OK 73 good day (Success)I have 2 label folders, "MyLabel" and "UnitTests" which both live in the root-level namespace.
The personal.GetSubfolders (false, cancel.Token); call is what sends A00000005 LIST "" "%".
Does that help at all?

On Gmail this example returns a folder with an empty name and no subfolders. Using Inbox, I don't get any of the folders that descend from the mail root. If I use [Gmail] as the root folder, I can get all the special folders.
I can't determine how to get all the 'label' folders in Gmail that descend from the mail root, which is not Inbox in Gmail.
