http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=499755 shows the
cryptic output we have when, e.g. trying to put somethin in our mailDir
root via the nametrans options. This commit adds at least some hint as
to what went wrong using an "assert" message, although the correct thing
is to allow the creation of a maildir in the root folder.

The latter is much shorter and looks nicer. UIBase was a very weird
name and with this patch, we don't need to use (or see) it from higher
level code anymore.

Attached is a new diff that should work though not really tested
(v4.0.14). In repository/Base.py restore_atime() will call
self.restore_folder_atimes() only if the folder type is Maildir. Let me
know if it has any more problems.

Attached is a patch to restore the atime of Maildir folders after
syncing. It can be enabled via the 'restoreatime' boolean in the
configuration file. I needed this because offlineimap is run after a
fetchmail and my mail checker breaks.
