Depending on how your IMAP server is configured, it might allow (IMAP)
clients to access all files on the server (that is, all files that the
IMAP user can read) instead of just a few folders you are subscribed to.

If this is the case, you might want to restrict the folders Zoe tries to
access; please see http://zoe.omara.ca/RestrictingImap for details.
