I believe you could hack something--a general solution would have to 
include a list of some sort--I *never* expand the whole tree, there's 
just too much!

The actual expansion is done in bmbl_child_toggled_cb(). If a node 
gains a child, and the BalsaMailboxNode is marked as expanded, the 
corresponding row of the GtkTreeView is expanded.  For local folders, 
the expanded state is set in balsa_mailbox_node_new_from_dir(), based 
on the existence of "%s/.expanded".  The root node for an imap folder 
tree is made in balsa_mailbox_node_new_from_config(), so if you added 
the line

folder->expanded = TRUE;

before returning the folder, the top level of the tree should get 
expanded as it's built.  The child nodes are made by 
imap_scan_create_mbnode(), which is where they inherit their 
`subscribed' status from their parent, so again, if you added the line 
mbnode->expanded = mbnode->parent->expanded;

before returning, the whole tree should be expanded.

Quick, and *very* dirty!
