[Imap-uw] Tracing IMAP session

[Harry Saal]

I've had to deal with this same misbehaving IMAP client.

The good news is that if you do set your maildir as an absolute path the 
client will put mail it sends into "Sent" and stuff you trash into "Trash".

The bad news is that although it does now list all your other mailboxen 
via the little triangle in the Mail Account list.. they are NOT nested 
nor even alphabetized! This makes it totally useless for anything but 
INBOX for fetching. I sent them a trace of their misbehavior months 
ago.....maybe you can get their attention, Thomas.
