Hmmm...

Thunderbird has the ability to create virtual mailboxes too, but 
obviously they are created and handled locally, not on the server...

How much trouble would it be to add an API so that an IMAP client 
*could* create and manage them on a dovecot server? And Maybe this would 
be a good candidate for an RFC spec?
