Postman also supports multiple mail folders but I don't really
recommend the software even though we are using it. As an
aside, the program uses )" as a record seperator which creates
some odd results if a password contains )".

It may be something to watch for in other programs.

There is nothing in principle that should prevent you from
allowing connections to other imap servers as long as you
are comfortable with the support (and potential security)
implications. For these reasons we have specifically
excluded multiple imap servers even though the software
will allow it.
