[dev] [imp-patch] default mailbox for create folder

No. This is what I mean:

http://www.apps.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2342.html

I see two paths to go down. Both of them involve significantly revising our
current 'folders' and 'namespace' configuration values.

1. Open a seperate socket connection to the IMAP server and issue a NAMESPACE
command on login, parsing the returned information and configuring ourselves
appropriately.

2. Have the admin enter the information that NAMESPACE would return in
servers.php in the entry for each server, instead of the current settings.

Yes, but what if they're creating a new top-level folder? Same problem.
