You can configure the frame creation aspects in VM.  See the "Frames and
Windows" section of the VM manual.  I myself have `vm-mutable-frames' set to
nil because I don't like new frames being created willy nilly.  There are
other variables you can use to get finer grained control on frame
configuration.

But I think you are right that opening a virtual folder shouldn't create a
frame for each underlying folder.  I will tweak the code to avoid that.

Indeed, IMAP support is my main mission!

If you get the development branch, you will find `vm-list-imap-folders'
vastly improved as well.
