it's probably not useful for Mutt to append the delimeter when no
foldername has been specified, as the user's folder collection is
probably what's desired.

However, adding the delimiter at other times does seem to make sense.
I wonder, though, if our original poster, who used a setting like
folder="{imapserver}INBOX." was attempting to get Mutt to translate
"+folder" into "{imapserver}INBOX.folder", which means a folder
literally named "INBOX.folder" in the server's folder collection
for this user?  Perhaps the server isn't using "." as the directory
delimiter after all...  But these things are hard to guess.  :)

Hmm, all the IMAP servers I've seen use "/" as the pathname separator,
so I can't tell.  :)
