Well, to be honest I was being semi-smartass. I didn't type it, but
what popped into my mind with "glob", "recursion" and what not was
"rm -r". ;-) One just can't escape those days sometimes.
I guess another notion that was floating around was some concern
about keeping at least somewhat orthogonal with IMAP. With the Tcl
cyradm you could do "lm folder.%" and it was just what the IMAP list
would do, same for "lm folder.*". If you do something really weird
with regex and globs, I'd possibly come up with a separate command,
like search or something?
Anyway, some kind of ability to manipulate folder hierarchies would
be convenient. Even in Tcl this could be a pain at times with all
the monkeying you had to do with folders with spaces in them.
