I can't tell you what program did create that folder. I just know that  
a few users here have it.
I don't know if the folder name is valid, but I know that the IMAP  
server and other apps like thunderbir/outlook do handle it. Here is  
the output of the IMAP server :
a003 list "Folders" "*"
a003 OK LIST completed
a003 list "Folders" "*"
a003 OK LIST completed
a005 list "Inbox" "*"
...
* LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "INBOX.INBOX.Ronan"
* LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "INBOX.INBOX.Sent"
* LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "INBOX.Sent"
* LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "INBOX.Notes"
...

I reported the bug because I thought that there was one, and event  
this type of naming doesn't usually happen, it can happen.
