Remarks
- As IMAP protocol specifies, each user can have unlimited
number of folders (mailboxes) where he can keep his messages.
INBOX is just one of them (place where new messages arrive),
but user can create more folders and move messages among them
(for whatever reason, typically for sorting them out).
Folders should be presented to you (and to the user) very
similar as they exist on Windows OS - you can consider
User.Folders to contain his root folders (once again, INBOX
belongs here), but each of such folders can contain
subfolders and so on.
This hierarchy can depend on your IMAP implementation - you
can allow users to create folders, but you can also create it
for him - although user can ignore some of those folders
completely.
