This is no option, because the folder separator can be different than a dot. Even if we forbid the system's separator this wouldn't be an option because what you claim to be a bug, I'd call a feature, allowing to move a folder just by renaming it to a folder name containing the seperator.

This is not possible, because the behaviour you've seen is actually the expected behaviour by imap servers. You just can't create folder with the servers's seperator sign in it.
