This is OK if you want to move wholly over to using the IMAP server
for a while but is no use if you just want to find something on the
IMAP server while dealing with local mail.
Most of the time I want my folder to stay as "/home/chris/Mail" but I
want occasionally to browse the remote IMAP server to find some
message I've saved there.
See my other recent messages for a macro to get to browse the remote
IMAP server without changing $folder.
