`C-u Z' (mew-local-update) with your regexp causes an error,
because "." is allowed.

BTW, I normally use (setq mew-regex-folder-candidate "^[^.]"),
but I don't feel that mew-local-update is slow.

Kazu, could you please reconsider the default value of
mew-regex-folder-candidate?  It would be nice if numerical folder
names are allowed by default if the performance loss is permissible.
