Gmail::Message has hard coded label names

gmail has its own special label names such as

"[Gmail]/All Mail",
"[Gmail]/Drafts",
"[Gmail]/Important",
"[Gmail]/Sent Mail",
"[Gmail]/Spam",
"[Gmail]/Starred",
"[Gmail]/Trash"

but these are translated in other language if the gmail language setting is not English.

For an instance, if I set it to Japanese, the labels are listed as below.
*the labels you create will not be affected under in any language setting

"[Gmail]/すべてのメール",
"[Gmail]/ゴミ箱",
"[Gmail]/スター付き",
"[Gmail]/下書き",
"[Gmail]/迷惑メール",
"[Gmail]/送信済みメール",
"[Gmail]/重要"

I am currently using gmail in English to avoid this problem, but could there be a way to add a method to configure this language setting?

Yes, it's problem i'm trying to solve since the i wrote the lib, i think it will end up with configurable labels, or some localization module. Any other ideas?

as far as I checked, there are 56 languages in the lang. setting.
I can't think of anything else other than giving a locale file to Gmail module class.

It can be solved use XLIST command instead of LIST. The problem is, XLIST hasn't been implemented yet.

We can, however, try to patch Net::IMAP ourselves.

Anyone want to step up and submit a patch for this? @webcracy started to integrate the google IMAP extensions.
