Is that why isPolled() *always* returns false? I was pulling my hair  
out over that last night (I even pulled the line that is isPolled()  
out and put it in MIMP_Tree, but got the same results...the  
IMAPTREE_ELT_IS_POLLED bit in $mailbox['a'] just doesn't seem to be  
set).

Thanks,
Rick

P.S. Should this move to the "dev" list, or is it okay here?
