I agree, that would be a neat thing. But how would you be able to cover
all the folder names users can come up with?
And what if user creates two folders, one called Junk and one called Spam?
Would both show the same thing?
Having a web interface only lets you make some certain choices for the
user and disallow her
performing certain operations.
With a normal MUA you can't really do that. Users will be creating all
kinds of different folder names expecting them to work.
