So then what do $conf['server']['change_folders'] and similar
settings actually do?  Or are they just vestigal?

Is there a way to define two servers in servers.php, where one is
preferred but the users can select the other (and where the only
difference would be the "mail folder" setting)?

Since I'm new to IMP/Horde, can you elaborate on autmomatic namespace
determination?  And when 4.1 might be in a semi-stable state?
