If you can figure out improvements on how to configure UW IMAP for
interoperation with WorldPilot that would be great. We're currently
lacking 
a UW IMAP server with a reasonable amount of data on it for looking into
the
issues.
I'm putting in a parameter to control the LIST call, I think that should 
reduce the load for the large part of the users, but we're open for any
further
adaptions.

Cheers,
Ryan
