I understand. However, making a simple check for being a file or 
directory wouldn't harm anyone. As .subscriptions, .customflags 
and .imap* are all files, interpreting them as folders would generate 
errors anyhow. If .imap* is somehow renamed to .whatever or 
dovecot-whatever, the check would still hold as files would never be 
interpreted as mail folders.
