Currently handles 3 types of events: add, remove, change. Can be passed a map of namespace to folder name as an option.

// default subfolder map (namespace -> folder name)
{
  inbox: 'Inbox'
}

var folder = Folder(opts)
 
folder.on('ready', function () {
  folder.on('inbox:add' function (filepath) {
    console.log('file added to inbox folder:', filepath)
