 Sorry, I forgot to update Minit.py. Try this instead:

def OpenFolderCallback(mf):
    MDialogs.Message("Opening folder %s (with %d messages)" % (mf.GetName(), mf.GetMessageCount()))
    return 1

 Right... should be arg.GetName() probably but to be honest I don't even
know what was this supposed to do.

 There are no more (dummy) "name" arguments for the callbacks and this one
wasn't updated. It also uses the non existent (any longer) CountMessages()
instead of GetMessageCount().

 You should use either callback_func if the function is defined in Minit.py
or, better because you can modify the file on the fly, while Mahogany is
running, filename.funcname if it is in the file filename.py. For example, I
had put the function OpenFolderCallback() above in a file cb.py and so I
entered cb.OpenFolderCallback in the "folder open callback" field.
