I use mutt 1.2i with Courier IMAP (my Courier IMAP just runs on a Unix
shell account as me rather than root).
To create a new mailbox on the IMAP server it needs to named as
follows:-
{imap.server.name}INBOX.new_folder
The INBOX part may appear automatically and is required, all
Courier IMAP folders are created as sub-directories of the INBOX
directory. It may well be that you'll get a prompt like:-
{imap.server.name}INBOX./
in which case you have to delete the /.
You can create multi-level folder hierarchies all in one go, e.g.
{imap.server.name}INBOX.new_folder.another_new_folder.mailbox
will work even if none of the folders exists already.
