The IMAP protocol has no way to "push" to the MUA that a folder (mailbox) has been freshly created.
It has actually. NOTIFY extension makes it explicit, but it's possible to do that even in standard protocol. It's just that no server does it, and I don't know if any clients would actually do anything if a server did send it. I'm planning on having Dovecot send that some day once I've finally implemented mailbox list indexes..
Anyway, if a mailbox "foo" is created, a server can simply send to clients:
- LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "foo"
