Why are you editing ~/.elmo/passwd? Try to remove it or to run
'elmo-passwd-alist-clear'. Wl will ask for your username/password
again. Store the correct information with 'elmo-passwd-alist-save'.

Yes, % is for IMAP folders. More details:

Without showing your full config nobody can tell what you are doing

With the ~/.folders file you tell Wanderlust which folders should
appear in the Folder buffer.

What are you trying to achieve?
