I suggest you delete that McAfee add-on. Just in case it accidentally gets enabled sometime.

one of the sometime issues with IMAP accounts are folder name mismatches. Such as Thunderbird calling the folder sent and the IMAP server calling it Sent items for instance.

Right click the folder in the folder pane and select subscribe and check out the folders listed to ensure this is not one of those occasions.
