Folder support #1

First, thanks for "reviving" the good old stuff :)

While I'm currently planning my own solution and searching for inspiration, I found this fork, which could spare me writing my own if you could and would implement something like the following.

What I really want/need is support for IMAP folders. Problem is, most mobile clients don't really support filtering on their own and personally I prefer the more organized not river-like way of storing the news. Besides, some people might not be willing or able to create a dedicated mail-account just for RSS.

Thus, for every feed create a folder(if it's not existing, yet) and store the corresponding feeds there. Brownie-points for a cascading solution ala 'Tech{engadget,...}'.

Additionally, being able to specify a base folder would be good, say 'RSS.' for the people only having one account, can't filter on their devices and won't always scroll through RSS to get to mail from their boss.

Python's default 'imaplib' should have everything needed for that. Thanks for consideration.

Hi. Erm. That's what this does, right now. Actually, you specify the folder when you add the feed, like so:

./r2e add url folder

Folder may have dots in it to indicate a tree, although I haven't tested nested folders yet - I don't have a use for them.

Ups, somehow I seem to have missed that, sorry.
