Recursive fetch of all mailboxes (Feature request)

[karlhiramoto]

It would be nice to backup an entire account with the. Something like.

1. Fetch the list of all the mailboxes with the IMAP "LIST * *" command
2. For each mailbox in the list fetch into sub-maildir

This should be doable, and very useful! I will work on this the next chance I get. Thanks!

+1 There are no other imap to maildir tools in linux that run based on nothing but command line args. Most require ridiculously complex config files. imap2maildir is the closest I've found where I can feed in a list of mailbox names and copy them to maildir. Other tools require you have a second IMAP server to sync to which requires a lot of setup to create ~120 mailboxes, then sync all the data. Especially if I just need to run a simple grep on the e-mail.

+1 Would still be useful.. :-)
