0.4.5 didn't really work except for local mailboxes.
0.4.7 works better for local and pop3 is nicer, but the bug above still
exists.  IMAP in 0.4.7 is totally broken due to me restructuring it and
havn't completed this yet.  So if you use IMAP, use 0.4.5 to create the
config file and 0.4.7 to load these mailboxes..  basically imap mailboxes
should work if added to the conf manually, but they won't work if added via
the config thingy.
