Someone already answered the rest of your email (I hope that helped),
I'll just comment that someone filed a bug-report with folder-hooks and
IMAP mailboxes awhile ago.  I don't have the email anymore so I can't
check, but it had something to do with the {} in the IMAP folder names
getting interpreted the wrong way, and consequently causing problems
for (read: making impossible to use) folder-hooks with IMAP folders.
Hopefully the issue is sorted out soon.  If it was a real issue --
just because there is a bug report doesn't mean there really is a bug,
I've seen plenty of cases where in the end the issue has been a
configuration or site-depended problem.  But your problems with the
hooks certainly would seem to indicate it's a real bug, that's not
impossible either.
