Aye, thanks for reporting this was a true bug. We only fetched the list
of folders lazily when needed for the first time. And this also
initialized the folder delimiter for IMAP repositories as a
side-effect. But in case the local IMAP repository was read-only we
would not get the list of folders early enough and the folder delimiter
was still "None". I pushed these three commits to the next branch which
fix this and throw errors in case we still access the folder delimiter
when not initialized.

c93f871 Init folder list early enough
bf4127c Remove unused imapserver getdelim()
20f2edf Sanity check to notify us when we call IMAPRepository.getsep()
too early


This is in my "next" branch now.

Thanks for reporting,
Sebastian
