Uhh, ohh, interesting. So far I have been able to avoid that imapsplit
function as it deals with the intricacies of the IMAP response format.

But clearly we want to support folder names with " in them. I have to
say that I need to look more in detail in your fix, it looks a bit hacky
to me ;-).

I logged
https://github.com/spaetz/offlineimap/issues/9 to track this.
