Also, mailboxes should not have '*' or '%'.  Additionally, it is  
recommended that the delimiter character is not allowed, but since we  
allow power users to create a container + sub-mailbox in one command,  
we don't need to strip delimiters out (or, instead, make this an  
optional check).

I was almost positive that we had a check for this at some point (I  
believe it was a SAPO request), but for some reason we took it out.   
IIRC, it would have been in IMP_Imap_Tree::createMailboxName().  It  
most likely could have been removed simply because we did not have the  
infrastructure in place to handle an error in mailbox name creation.   
Or because we couldn't come up with an adequate way to tell the users  
what mailbox names are acceptable.
