the `target` attribute is expected to be a string, and your
configuration makes it an array. That .join("") would break all other
feed2imap users. :-)

I think this is an artifact of the migration to use Ruby 1.9. I
don't know why this worked at all with Ruby 1.8.

On one hand I think your configuration is not supported, and only worked
before by chance. On the other hand that is a clever trick to avoid
repeating the path to the maildir over and over ...
