 All IMAP retriever types also take the following optional parameters:

    mailboxes (tuple of quoted strings) — a list of mailbox paths to
retrieve mail from, expressed as a Python tuple. If not specified, the
default is to retrieve mail from the mail folder named INBOX. You might
want to retrieve messages from several different mail folders, using a
configuration like this:

    mailboxes = ("INBOX", "INBOX.spam",
        "mailing-lists.model-railroading")
