Re: IMAP account retrieval problem (reprise) ad nauseum

from the page you sent me to (http://zoe.omara.ca/RestrictingImap):

re: [email protected] file:
*******
In this file, list the folders you are interested in, one per line.
Inbox specifies the user mailbox.
folders should be specified as an absolute filesystem directory.
Inbox=true
AnotherFolder=true

Questions:
Can mail folders be excluded by specifing
ThirdFolder=false
in the properties config file?
As of v0.5.9 the true/false value is ignored. Any folder listed will be included.
*******

so which is it ?

i have an account with username [email protected], and i have created a filename 
[email protected]@mail.host.com.properties and have included all the scenarios listed in my previous 
email.  Currently this the contents of the properties file:

/Inbox
/mail/

I do not see the lines in the debug showing that it is picking up the properties file.
