I have about 150 folders, of which I'm only interested in real-time stats
for about two dozen of them.  So I have those folders set to Check Folders
for New Mail.  The problem is from time to time, I decide to go on a
cleaning spree, so I'll select all folders to check for new mail, so I can
get a message per folder count.  I'll clean out folders that have high
message counts.  And then I go back and deselect all, and then manually
choose which folders to check for new mail again.  Most of the time, I
manage to get all the folders I want checked.  But from time to time, I miss
one or two, and its impossible to tell if I have a folder set to be checked
or not, if the folder has no new messages in it.  It looks the same whether
I have it set to poll or not.

So some way to be able to tell that a folder is being polled for new mail
would be extremely helpful - italicize it, or I don't know what.  Or in the
spirit of IMAP subscriptions, a show Polled Folders/show All link.

Also, how are "dead" folders handled?  By that I mean folders that have been
added to the list to be polled, but later deleted (maybe by IMP, maybe by
some other program).  Or maybe the key in the  IMP servers.php was changed,
so the poll list is no longer valid.  It would be nice to have a way to
expose the internals of  nav_poll, in a user-friendly way.
