OK, this error is happening because I split the included files up into
chunks to keep the overhead down. The reason I missed this is because this
function only gets called from mailbox.php under an error condition that I
forgot to test (sorry about that!, its fixed in CVS now :). 

to fix edit lib/wrapper_functions.php.
 after line #21 which reads: 

case 'mailbox.php':

add this:
    require_once('session_2.php');

This is the real issue. In order for hastymail to handle folders properly
it needs to know the mailbox delimiter. There must be a bug in the code
that finds this value in the IMAP LIST response. Do you know what IMAP
server software you are using? the responses look to be UW, which uses the
'/' char as the delimiter by default. Here is how you can find out:

telnet imap_server_ip 143
A01 login username password
A02 LIST "INBOX" ""

The result should look something like this:

 LIST (\NoSelect) "/" ""

The first quoted value is the delimiter. Once you have this you can fix
this for your copy of hastymail. edit lib/imap_2.php and change the code
starting at line 58 which reads:

in this example lets say the delimiter is /

if (!$capture_delim) {
            $_SESSION['delimiter'] = trim(substr($line, 1, 3), '"');
            $capture_delim = true;
        }

to this:

if (!$capture_delim) {
            $_SESSION['delimiter'] = '/';
            $capture_delim = true;
        }

Please let us know if this works for you and what the IMAP response is to
the above LIST call so we can fix hastymail to work for you as the above
'fix' is really just a hack to make it work. In order to make hastymail
handle this we need to see the result of the LIST call.

Thanks for trying Hastymail out!

btw, I am usually hanging out (during the week anyway) in the #hastymail
channel at irc.freenode.net if you want to drop by there.

thanks again.
