Sorry, but unfortunately there are some mistakes... Please, have a
closer look at the corrections of my examples below...

This one is correct.

This one should be:

  --
  mailboxes, folders = list(myaccount, 'dir1')
  print(unpack(mailboxes))
    dir1/mbox2    dir1/mbox3
  print(unpack(folders))
    
  --

HINT: The server returns the full path to the mailboxes and folders.

This one should be:

  --
  mailboxes, folders = list(myaccount, 'dir2')
  print(unpack(mailboxes))
    dir2/mbox5    dir2/mbox6
  print(unpack(folders))
    dir2/dir3
  --

HINT: The server returns the full path to the mailboxes and folders.

And this one:

  --
  mailboxes, folders = list(myaccount, 'dir2/dir3')
  print(unpack(mailboxes))
    dir2/dir3/mbox7    dir2/dir3/mbox8
  print(unpack(folders))
    
  --

HINT: The server returns the full path to the mailboxes and folders.


Also, note that, depending on the mail server, sometimes folders can be
mailboxes at the same time.  In these cases these folders are returned
both at the "mailboxes" and the "folders" tables of the list()/lsub()
commands.  For example, lets say that we have the following hierarchy:

  - folder1
  + folder2
    - folder3

In this case we have:

  --
  mailboxes, folders = list(myaccount, '')
  print(unpack(mailboxes))
    folder1    folder2
  print(unpack(folders))
    folder2
  --

HINT: "folder2" is both a mailbox and a folder.


That's all there is to it...
