This is the expected behavior.  On load, the sidebar should match the  
current state of the mailbox in IMP.  Otherwise you could end up with  
two completely different folder expand states in the two views.  It  
can be debated whether this is proper behavior, but I feel the current  
behavior is a better compromise.

I would really like to see a move away from using the sidebar to  
control folder navigation in IMP.  This should really be done within  
IMP itself.  If you do want sidebar folder navigation, you should be  
using the dynamic view.
