Actually, this is a bug that I can reproduce only on my desktop computer 
at work, while on my laptop is working as described in the help pages.
I'm using a dovecot account and regular folders (where the switch should 
be enabled).

This is the output of configure on the computer where this switch 
doesn't occurr:

On my desktop I run debian testing, while on my laptop I run debian sid.
In both I'm running a compiled version of vala.

If you don't see anything suspicious above, it may be that my keyboard 
configuration on this machine is messed up, as it already seems from 
this previous experience?
