Description

The set of folders on an IMAP server is presented as a flat list rather than an hierarchy of folders, which is mildly counter-intuitive. For example, if the server has a folder Incoming with sub-folders Incoming/2009, Incoming/2010 and Incoming/2011, this is presented as a single folder with sub-folders:

Incoming.2009
Incoming.2010
Incoming.2011

What I would expect instead is a folder

Incoming

which, when opened, displayed the three sub-folders:

2009
2010
2011

which reflects the hierarchical folder display used in most email clients such as MacOS Mail.app, KMail, Outlook and Thunderbird.

And it's now already fixed since quite some time.
