Re: IMAP account retrieval problem (reprise) final solution

well, your suggestion did not work for folders...

conflicting information on the page you sent me to and what you said did not make things any easier. 
on http://zoe.omara.ca/RestrictingImap it states:

****************
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.
****************

but you said otherwise below... does this mean we can exclude folders/files with the =false flag or 
not ?

to those interested, i created a file called [email protected]@mail.bar.com and inside it added the two 
lines:

Inbox=true
mail/=true

notice that they are not specified as full paths as the wiki documentation incorrectly suggests... 
you must omit the "/" from the beginning of them, and add a trailing "/" for any directory entry.
