Wow, that's an old version ;-)

The best docs are found at http://perl.overmeer.net/mailbox/html/

                           ^^^ must be:
                         , type         => 'imap'

Yeh, fun... I see it, imap is still lacking in the list for autoloading
modules is Mail::Box::Manager:

 my @basic_folder_types =
  ( ...
  , [ imap    => 'Mail::Box::IMAP4'   ]
  , [ imap4   => 'Mail::Box::IMAP4'   ]
  );

Sometimes that has to do with a failing login-procedure, probably
due to the need for a SSL encryption.  I have seen how IMAP/IMAPTalk.pm
solves that, but I lack the time to get it in.  IMAP4 support in MailBox
needs users...

Today, a new release will come to CPAN, which is faster, and contains
this fix.
