[Dovecot] Another permissions problem?

The rebuild server is now almost complete.  Dovecot is running, and I can 
telnet and log in.  In kmail on this workstation I have created an imap 
account, for which Inbox was created.  I also created Trash and sent-mail as 
top-level folders, and they display correctly with the cur, new and tmp 
sub-folders on the server.  I now want to create subfolders of Inbox, and 
there I'm coming unstuck.

According to the info box

URL: (unknown)
Date and time: Saturday 18 February 2006 16:51
Additional information:
imap://anne@192.168.0.30:143/INBOX/LAN//;INFO=ASKUSER

Possible causes:

Your access permissions may be inadequate to perform the requested operation 
on this resource
The location where the folder was to be created may not exist
A protocol error or incompatibility may have occurred

This is what I have at the moment:
