Thinking about it some more, the only thing I can think of is that the  
Outlook assumes that the separator is a '/', or some other character  
that is NOT a '.', so creates the folder locally before it receives  
the acknowledgement from the ActiveSync server (there were other,  
similar issues with OL where it didn't care what the server responded).

My guess is that the folder IS being created, but it's being created  
as a subfolder. I.e., 'test.folder' is being created as:

Test
    |
    |--folder


If that's the cast there really isn't anything we can do about that  
since the client is ignoring the server response.
