Dots create subfolders. Jan argues that this is a "feature" but I'm
thinking about the majority of users who would type in a dot and be
startled to see (or not notice) a subfolder.

Also multiple dots can cause the IMAP server to reject the name which can
frustrate ordinary users.

I propose the interface not allow users to type in dots like the previous
interface did. (advanced users can still paste in dots). There is already a
straight-forward familiar way to create subfolders.
