Looks like mozilla is a bit buggy here. But Dovecot was too, fixed again
in CVS and patch in web page.

LIST "" foo.%
* LIST () "." "foo."
* LIST () "." "foo.bar"

Mozilla doesn't like the "foo." in the reply. IMAP protocol says that it
should be sent, but Courier and Cyrus doesn't send it either. Also this
was buggy in Dovecot anyway since it was always sent as \NoSelect
folder, which is why you couldn't subscribe to those folders.

Another strange thing that I see is:

3 list "" "%"
* LIST (\Children \UnMarked) "." "evolution"
..
4 list "" "%.%"
* LIST (\UnMarked) "." "evolution.juttu"
..
11 subscribe "evolution/juttu"
11 NO [TRYCREATE] Mailbox doesn't exist: evolution/juttu

Why does it try "/" separator? That's clearly mozilla bug. Actually
Dovecot is buggy there too, it shouldn't have said [TRYCREATE] since "/"
makes it invalid mailbox name..
