Hey, thanks for the tip. Didn't know about it. Just found out that it's
mentioned in the RFC.

<snip>
If the server's hierarchy separator character appears elsewhere in
the name, the server SHOULD create any superior hierarchical names
that are needed for the CREATE command to complete successfully.
In other words, an attempt to create "foo/bar/zap" on a server in
which "/" is the hierarchy separator character SHOULD create foo/
and foo/bar/ if they do not already exist.
</snip>

<snip>
Example:    C: A003 CREATE owatagusiam/
               S: A003 OK CREATE completed
               C: A004 CREATE owatagusiam/blurdybloop
               S: A004 OK CREATE completed

      Note: the interpretation of this example depends on whether "/"
      was returned as the hierarchy separator from LIST.  If "/" is the
      hierarchy separator, a new level of hierarchy named "owatagusiam"
      with a member called "blurdybloop" is created.  Otherwise, two
      mailboxes at the same hierarchy level are created.
</snip>
