Yes, I had almost finished implementing this functionality, the
LIST/LSUB commands, which was also requested by other users. But I was
delayed by the complexity, non-compliant implementations and different
ways that exist and are used to denote which folder is a mailbox and
which is not.  And then I was busy with other things and stopped working
on the thing... I'll try to find some time to sort it all out and finish
it.

Definitely, the LIST/LSUB functionality will be in the next release (v1.1).
