I should clarify my previous statement. It'll work if you're not using 
the stock Android list control. I use K-9 Mail on my Android phone, and 
it connects to my IMAP server which has dozens of folders (probably at 
least 100) - and the list is manageable with 100-200 items. I would not 
want to scroll through 1000+ items, it'd take forever.

Well, that's different. "low hundreds" should be manageable.
