[REBOL] Re: IMAP mailbox navigation?

Holger mentioned this before:
There is a difference between the IMAP protocol itself (RFC 2060)
and the imap:// URL scheme (RFC 2192). At this time REBOL only
supports the imap:// URL scheme, which has a subset of the full
IMAP protocol functionality. It handles mailbox lists, message
lists, retrieving and deleting of messages, and message searches,
i.e. it is API-compatible to pop://, with added support for
multiple mailboxes and searches.
Move/copy/rename and other administrative IMAP functions are
not specified in RFC 2192 and not supported by REBOL's imap://
scheme at this time.
As far as I can tell, to change to another mailbox, you have to log in again
to the different mailbox.
Scott and I posted the fix to the Imap scheme to allow this to AltME
bugfixes channel. Previously, if you tried this, you would get an error as
rebol would attempt to open the incorrect mailbox.
