Somebody mentioned a while back that it might be a good idea to merge the
MailboxNode stuff into the LibBalsaMailbox class, and it's children -
therefore
allowing a LibBalsaMailbox to actually be the root of a tree of mailboxes.
Having done this it would be quite simple to introduce Imap dir as a subclass
of LibBalsaMailbox (or extend the current IMAP subclass). It would also allow
a
LibBalsaMailboxDirectory class, which would make the mechanism by which local
mailboxes in a directory tree are scanned and included much cleaner.

It's just a vague idea in the back of my mind at the moment, but I may get
round to doing this one day soon.
