Thanks for the response. I did some testing
and the error messages I get from Outlook vary and are not very helpful.
If I try to rename a folder from test to test/2 I get an error "Server
bug: Internal error occurred". I I try renaming a folder "test 1" to
"test 1/ 2" I get an error "NONEXISTENT: Mailbox doesn't exist :
INBOX.test 1". Is there any way I can support the '/' character with my
configuration without changing the format of all my mailboxes? 

Thanks
