The check there is probably just too strict. While I am not entirely sure, my 
guess is that at the point when I wrote that this attribute carried only two 
strings: the display name and the name for the icon.
Nowadays it has more data so the check fails.

My recommendation is to change the check from != 2 to >= 2 and later on 
extend[1] the class to understand the additional data as well.

Cheers,

[1] I wrote that example implementation after several years of absence from 
Java programming and I tried to reuse (parts of an) an existing IMAP 
implementation. It might be better to just use it as an idea how things work 
rather than completing it
