No, IMAP4 does not now about the contents of folders. Currently we use=20
hardcoded names (due to limitations of the proprietary Bynari client). In t=
he=20
future we will not have this limitation anymore. You may then use any IMAP=
=20
folder in any location for any content type.

Unfortunately currently this is the case. (And results in a lot of unnecess=
ary=20
problems like support the french language, multiple calendars etc..)

This is no problem at all. Basically you must forget about typical database=
=20
problems which simply do not exist in our architecture.

(e.g there simply is no move semantics only copy and delete)
