Through an evil quirk of the IMAP protocol, folder name-parts which
are "inbox" are case insensitive, while everything else is case
sensitive. So, "INBOX" is "inbox" is "iNbOx". "iNbOx.foo" is
"INBOX.foo", but "INBOX.Foo" is not "INBOX.foo", nor is "Foo" the same
as "foo". And, "INBOXblah" is not "Inboxblah". This last is a pain,
actually, since / is the delimiter on some servers, and . on others.
So if you're on a / delimited server, the above is untrue, but
"INBOX/foo" is "Inbox/foo".
Fun, ne?
John.
