the summary uses similar interfaces that might be usable.

the camel code (e.g. the tests/folder tests) shows how to open  a
folder, once opened various details are available.  might be easier just
to recognise the X-Evolution header format, its basically:

XXXXXXXX-YYYY [; optional tags/flags]

the YYYY bit is a 16 bit bitfield in hexadecimal, camel-folder-summary.h
defines the bits (comment 'system flag bits').  XXXXXXXX is the uid in
hex.

with 1.2, for external mbox or mbox directory trees, theres a checkbox
to enable Status/X-Status headers.  if u turn this on tho, it can
significantly impact perf.

u could also just use maildir, it uses the standard format for maildir
names.
