Sorry, I didn't get my mail settings right (return address given by UNIX 
pine) for my last post. Fortunately you CC'd it to the list!

Anyway here's a session in 1.0-stable where #maildir is my (test) 
Maildir namespace (I'm using mbox mostly, so that's what I tried before)

. CREATE "#maildir/test7/test7-2"
. OK Create completed.
. LIST "#maildir/test7" "*"
* LIST (\Unmarked) "/" "INBOX"
* LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "#maildir/test7/test7-2"
. OK List completed.
. STATUS "#maildir/test7/test7-2" (UNSEEN)
* STATUS "test7.test7-2" (UNSEEN 0)
. OK Status completed.

So it seems there's a bug in the Maildir code somewhere.
The new folder SELECTs OK, though:

. SELECT "#maildir/test7/test7-2"
* FLAGS (\Answered \Flagged \Deleted \Seen \Draft)
* OK [PERMANENTFLAGS (\Answered \Flagged \Deleted \Seen \Draft \*)] 
Flags permitted.
* 0 EXISTS
* 0 RECENT
* OK [UIDVALIDITY 1112827546] UIDs valid
* OK [UIDNEXT 1] Predicted next UID
. OK [READ-WRITE] Select completed.
. LOGOUT
* BYE Logging out
. OK Logout completed.

I'll have a look and see if I can fix it, unless Timo or someone else 
beats me to it :)

Best Wishes,
Chris
