If you are trying to use both sb_server and sb_imapfilter, then you will
need to run the web interfaces on different ports.  The [html_ui] port
option controls this, so you can put it in the respective configuration
files.  (Or you can use the -o command line option).

sb_server and sb_imapfilter are both intended as tools for a single user.
There are lots of issues with trying to use them for multiple users.  IAC, I
believe the answer to the first question answers this.

What do you mean by "fails".  If there's an error message, we need to see
it.

Then it sounds like you're selecting an invalid folder <wink>.  You need to
be sure that the folder is correctly named (including the delimiters) in the
configuration file.  This is difficult to do with IMAP, hence the config
page doing it for you.  (So solving the problem with that is likely to solve
the problem here).
