Re: Tinymail can't create folders on my IMAP server

[Philip Van Hoof <spam pvanhoof be>]

I committed this fix because somebody showed me folder creation commands
that illustrated the problem, indeed. If we can't create root folders on
some other IMAP servers anymore, then we'll need some more intelligent
check for this.

We'll see and keep an eye on it, right? Try asking for pcaps (wireshark
logs, for example) and search for "CREATE" IMAP commands.
