The readonly feature was introduced to safeguard repositories from
accidental modifications. Unfortunately, my patch treated the readonly
setting as a string and not as a boolean, so if *anything* was set in
the configuration file as 'readonly', this value evaluated to True
Fortunately this was safe, we never treated a repository that we wanted
read-only as read-write. We always treated them readonly if something
was configured as "readonly=..." even if that was False.
The fix is simply to use getconfboolean() rather than getconf() which
checks for True/False/On/Off/yes/no/1/0 and hands back the correct boolean.

If a folder is empty, most servers will return EXISTS 0 and imaplib2
passes back ['0'] as return value to a select(). It returns [None] if
no EXISTS response was given by the server at all.

various error messages (One server responds with "NO No matching

b) We were always only using one 'copyfolders' item anyway, so let us

SafeConfigParser is very similar to the currently used ConfigParser but
it supports interpolation. This means values can contain format strings
which refer to other values in the same section, or values in a special
DEFAULT section. For example:
[My Section]
foodir: %(dir)s/whatever
dir=frob
would resolve the %(dir)s to the value of dir (frob in this case). All reference expansions are done on demand.
