That's all Usermin needs, and there is no function for simplifying 
folder addition (although the read_file and write_file standard 
functions make editing name=value files like that easier).

By the way, you could also add a folder by creating a file in ~/mail , 
since everything in that directory is automatically picked up by Usermin.

Those index files get generated automatically to speed up access to 
the mailbox ..
