Children/subfolders is empty but hasChildren is true

[netkant]

Describe the bug $folder->getChildren()->total() is 0

Used config See code to reproduce (maybe I'm doing something wrong?)

Code to Reproduce The troubling code section which produces the reported bug.

$cm = new ClientManager([
    'accounts' => [
        'myaccount' => [
            'host'       => 'myhost.com',
            'port'       => 993,
            'protocol'   => 'imap',
            'encryption' => 'ssl',
            'username'   => 'myusername',
            'password'   => 'mypassword',
        ]
    ]
]);

$client = $cm->account('myaccount');
$folder = $client->getFolder('TestFolder');
var_dump($folder->hasChildren()); // bool(true)
var_dump($folder->getChildren()->total()); // int(0) <-- bug?

Expected behavior In my case I expect var_dump($folder->getChildren()->total()); to be int(1)

Hello again,

After looking into the source code, I realize why the expected results is "wrong".

The $client->getFolder(...) method calls getFolders(false, ...)

so I managed to make a "workaround" to get what I need like this:

$folders = $client->getFolders(true, 'TestFolder');
$folder  = $folders->first();
var_dump($folder->getChildren()->all());

Resulting in:

array(1) {
  [0]=>
  object(Webklex\PHPIMAP\Folder)#860 (12) {
  ...

But although I now managed to get a list of subfolders and var_dump($folder->getChildren()); gives me this:

object(Webklex\PHPIMAP\Support\FolderCollection)#918 (3) {
  ["items":protected]=>
  array(1) {
    [0]=>
    object(Webklex\PHPIMAP\Folder)#919 (12) {

The var_dump($folder->getChildren()->total()); still gives me:

int(0)
