#7990: IMAP folders presented as flat dotted-name list

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.
