- It would be more intuitive [but may go against the
  IMP look and feel] if the `Open Folder' button was
  not a big button, but appeared to be attached to
  the select box.

- I'm not sure how I would implement this, but it could
  be moved to the left side of the toolbar and the
  `INBOX' button could be removed.  (One click is nice,
  but if the select default was INBOX, it would still
  only be one click most of the time)  I think this might
  be a little more intuitive.

I'm having a problem with this select, actually.  It
doesn't like any folder names ending in `.' - I haven't
seen anything about making it work better with Cyrus in
the docs.  Can I somehow tell it the `.' is a delimiter
of sorts?
