Rename a named folder to a new name.

`store` : | a CamelStore object
`old_namein` : | the current name of the folder
`new_name` : | the new name of the folder
`ex` : | a CamelException

### camel_store_sync ()

    void                camel_store_sync                    (CamelStore *store,
                                                             gint expunge,

Syncs any changes that have been made to the store object and its folders with the real store.

`store` : | a CamelStore object
`expunge` : | `TRUE` if an expunge should be done after sync or `FALSE` otherwise

### camel_store_get_folder_info ()

    CamelFolderInfo *   camel_store_get_folder_info         (CamelStore *store,
                                                             const gchar *top,
                                                             guint32 flags,

This fetches information about the folder structure of `store`, starting with `top`, and returns a tree of CamelFolderInfo structures. If `flags` includes CAMEL_STORE_FOLDER_INFO_SUBSCRIBED, only subscribed folders will be listed. If the store doesn't support subscriptions, then it will list all folders. If `flags` includes CAMEL_STORE_FOLDER_INFO_RECURSIVE, the returned tree will include all levels of hierarchy below `top`. If not, it will only include the immediate subfolders of `top`. If `flags` includes CAMEL_STORE_FOLDER_INFO_FAST, the unread_message_count fields of some or all of the structures may be set to `-1`, if the store cannot determine that information quickly. If `flags` includes CAMEL_STORE_FOLDER_INFO_NO_VIRTUAL, don't include special virtual folders (such as vTrash or vJunk).

The CAMEL_STORE_FOLDER_INFO_FAST flag should be considered deprecated; most backends will behave the same whether it is supplied or not. The only guaranteed way to get updated folder counts is to both open the folder and invoke `refresh_info()` it.

`store` : | a CamelStore object
`top` : | the name of the folder to start from
`flags` : | various CAMEL_STORE_FOLDER_INFO_* flags to control behavior
`ex` : | a CamelException
Returns : | a CamelFolderInfo tree, which must be freed with camel_store_free_folder_info, or `NULL`.

Frees the data returned by camel_store_get_folder_info. If `fi` is `NULL`, nothing is done, the routine simply returns.

`fi` : | a CamelFolderInfo as gotten via camel_store_get_folder_info

### camel_folder_info_build ()

    CamelFolderInfo *   camel_folder_info_build             (GPtrArray *folders,

### Warning

`camel_folder_info_build` is deprecated and should not be used in newly-written code.

This takes an array of folders and attaches them together according to the hierarchy described by their full_names and `separator`. If `namespace` is non-`NULL`, then it will be ignored as a full_name prefix, for purposes of comparison. If necessary, camel_folder_info_build will create additional CamelFolderInfo with `NULL` urls to fill in gaps in the tree. The value of `short_names` is used in constructing the names of these intermediate folders.

NOTE: This is deprected, do not use this. FIXME: remove this/move it to imap, which is the only user of it now.

`folders` : | an array of CamelFolderInfo
`namespace` : | an ignorable prefix on the folder names
`separator` : | the hieararchy separator character
`short_names` : | `TRUE` if the (short) name of a folder is the part after the last `separator` in the full name. `FALSE` if it is the full name.
Returns : | the top level of the tree of linked folder info.

### camel_folder_info_clone ()

Returns : | the cloned CamelFolderInfo tree.

### camel_store_supports_subscriptions ()
