Hi,

I've seen this message many, many times without any decent answer. 
Everybody will tell you to correct your imp/config/servers.php like that :
$servers['imap'] = array(
...
     'folders' => 'mail/',

They will tell you that you don't have any ~/mail/ directory, and that's 
why httpd hangs. Well, my 'folders' is set correctly, and httpd still hangs.
Solution: give up. All you can do is comment out the following line in 
your imp/templates/menu/menu.inc:
//    Menu::printItem(Horde::applicationUrl('folders.php'), 
_("Folders"), 'folders.gif');

Doing that, the 'folders' link will no longer appear in your top menu; 
you can still access your folders using the dropdown list (at least I can).

That's an ugly workaround, but if you find something better, please let 
me know !

Best Regards,
