When reading remote IMAP mailboxes you don't know what format they're
actually stored in - that's hidden by the IMAP server. You should
just ask to open "{host}name" where 'name' is the name that the IMAP
server presents as the name of the mailbox (or folder). Whether this
name is the actual name of a file/directory on the system where the
IMAP server is running as also down to the way the IMAP server is
implemented.
