[gutsy] FTBFS mail-notification 4.1.dfsg.1-1 synced from Debian

Upstream has been notified via email (there is no upstream bug tracker).

I attach a patch that solves the problem. It is still to be polished but before proceeding I would appreciate a word of advise from a sponsor.
Am I on the right path with this?

Many thanks,

Patch also sent upstream https://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/index.php?20557

There was already a bug report about this upstream, which is confirmed:

http://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/?20124

This patch:

 - applies to the latest Debian version available now
 - uses the post-patches target instead of the makebuilddir one
 - fixes a new FTBFS due to an API change in the em_folder_tree_set_selected function

With many thanks to Albin Tonnere for his invaluable help and advise.

This will be fixed in the upcoming release, due in a few days. Btw, this bug tracker is now the official Mail Notification bug tracker.

Fixed in 5.0-RC1.
