Well, it apparently hasn't always worked based on the Wiki. It says:

   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.

If that's wrong, then I'll update the wiki.

I think it would be very beneficial to exclude specifically listed 
folders instead of listing the ones that you want.  I feel pretty 
certain that that's how most people would want it to work.  With your 
richer PL syntax it should be easy to do something like:

{ include = ("mail"); "exclude" = ("mail/folder1", "mail/folder2") }

where exclusions apply after inclusions and if no inclusions are 
specified then it defaults to everything.
