when using horde with kolab auth (problem probably applies to other  
auth methods), the used login screen is the horde login.php screen.

what i want:

   o use _imp_hook_postlogin
   o test for fixed folders, default folders (SPAM, Trash, etc.) and  
if not exist, create them

while settings this up i made the experience, that _imp_hook_postlogin  
is only very rarely called on login. my horde's login.php redirects  
directly to the imp INBOX view. sometimes IMP says that the user is  
not yet authenticated and offers IMP's login.php screen in main frame.  
on a frame reload (main frame) IMP's login screen disappears and the  
INBOX is shown. i suppose this issue is related to some sort of IMAP  
timeout (that i can live with).

but: only when this detour on login takes place (every 10-20 logins)  
the _imp_hook_postlogin function is called. this is not really reliable.

do work around this, i applied the attached patch ,,  
20090507_IMP_postlogin_workaround.patch''. i am aware that  
_imp_hook_postlogin now gets called on every IMP page load (i guess).

FYI find also attached my hook to check for existence of certain  
default/fixed folders.
