[imp] Imp Login - large mail accounts

[Stefanie Clormann]

Well, in our case the did not.

Maybe you use dovecot with the mailbox format.
We use the maildir format.
And if you use Maildir format: Maybe your maildirs are not created as 
.FOLDERNAME (DOT-Foldername dovecot configuration)

In our setting (dovecot, maildir format, subfolders on system are 
created as hidden folders .NAME) it definitely did not work.
Renaming the folders to J_2001 did the trick.

And as it is only imp that has a problem with it and not thunderbird or 
another
mail client I am still convinced that there is a problem with imp.
