Thank you for your answer.

Well I'm not familiar with Python, but terminating on an exception may be a
clean exit afterall

As for the last question, about mbnames, it looks like, -from the source coce-,
that accountname and foldername are indeed the only special variables available
for this section.

(I still don't really understand the syntax '%(variable)s', but I guess it'll be
more clear once I read a little about Python)

I'll probably answer my own other questions by diving into the code, I'll do that.

Feel free to point me to the right direction though!
