my POINT is that the imap server thinks they are folders. if it thinks they are folders then they are folders, or it wouldn't be listing them as such.
the end. if the server is saving state to dot files and then listing these very same dot files as folders, then it is a bug in the imap server. if it is a bug in the imap server, then is is the server that should be fixed. not the client to work around one specific imap server's bugginess.
