A couple hundred? I'd be interested in seeing a list of these problems, and of 
course it would be great if you could contribute fixes to the list...

These both have been resolved in 2.3 by abbreviating long folder names (by 
replacing the middle with '...').

I really don't think this is something that belongs in IMP - if you really want 
a limit, hack it into your IMAP server so that it applies universally to all 
clients, and don't give your users shell access - and the above reason isn't 
enough by itself to sway me. Also, I think it's a pretty poor generalization to 
say that admins are annoyed by their users' directory names...
