This isn't currectly possible.

But it is very interesting, so I will add the capability to ask the
server for a list of mailboxes (or only of subscribed/active mailboxes).
You will be able to ask for the children mailboxes of a specified parent
mailbox, or even use wildcards to match specific mailboxes.

Also, after you get the list from the server, you could manipulate it
using Lua in any way you want.
