IMAP works for me.

But you can't use the configuration wizard.

Configure for local mail, go into your mailboxes window, right-click,
select add new, choose IMAP.

AFAIK, you can't make it do a 'mailbox scan' to list all remote mailboxes
within a certain path.  When you can, I'll be using balsa much more...
