Stil having trouble visiting imap folders in 7.17.  

- If I type a '?' at the "Visit IMAP folder" prompt it always says
  "arithmetic error" in the  minibuffer.  Likewise tab if there's more
  than one match for whatever I've typed so far.  Tab works ok as
  completion if there's a single match.
	
- Somewhat similarly, if I use 'Visit IMAP folder' menubar command, it
  attempts to display the interactive list of choices, but there are
  no choices listed and the minibuffer says "arithmetic error".

- More importantly, once I select a folder (with the keyboard
  interface) it always displays as having no messages.

Fwiw my other imap client (Mail.app) allows the specification a 'path
prefix' for imap folders.  I don't know if this is part of the imap
spec or something specific to that client, but I use it, since only a
subtree on the server has imap files in it.
