Well, the main difference is, that unlike all other folders the transfer to 
and from IMAP folders is asyncronous.
The other issue is, that folders on the same server belong somehow together.

Well, I have learned from this issue, that I better continue to look at more

of project management.

Even half done patches often say much more, than just a description of the 
design.
