I checked the WU IMAP mailing list, and found the following:

  http://www.washington.edu/imap/listarch/msg06947.html

In short, Mark Crispin (the author of WU IMAP) strongly recommends avoiding the
"*" wildcard altogether, using rather "%".  In this case, the '\NoSelect' flag
indicates (I think) that the item is a directory, and could be drilled into; 
or  perhaps the '\NoInferiors' says "this is a leaf -- don't descend" (my
ignorance of the IMAP protocol is showing).

I guess the idea here is to avoid using LIST once, but to do it "on demand" as
the user drills down the tree.  Mark also recommends using "LSUB" to pick up
"subscribed" mail folders.

Hope this helps!
