You have to call mail_folder_connect() (that is mailfolder_connect() in 
current CVS) before calling any sequence of operations on a folder. That 
must be done to be sure you're on the right folder (this is valid for 
any driver, including IMAP).

In the backend of IMAP, when you have two folders (I mean mail_folder 
(this is now mailfolder in the CVS)), two connection are created (this 
is advised for IMAP protocol client implementation by IMAP author and 
IMAP server implementors). Then, in IMAP, mail_folder_connect() will in 
fact do nothing, since 'folder->session' will be different for each 
folder.
