I can't reproduce. Is it possible this is a TB bug? Try talking IMAP
protocol directly:

/usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap -u user at domain
a list "" T*

If it lists:

* LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "T&APw-r"

Then Dovecot is working correctly.

This is correct.

It wouldn't be impossible for TB to be simply confused with this setup
for some reason :)
