Could you give an example?  Do you enclose it within a map and do you 
use the PL boolean type or just "true" and "false" strings?

{ "Inbox" = "boolean:true"; "Other/Folder" = "boolean:false" }

Does setting a folder to false work, yet?

The Wiki says to use "absolute filesystem directory".  Do you really 
mean an absolute path from "/" or is a relative path from the user's 
IMAP home correct?  In other words, is it "Other/Folder" or 
"/Users/smith/Mail/Other/Folder"?  Presumably it's the former since many 
IMAP servers don't allow access to the file system root.
