This means it's in the subscriptions file.

This means it doesn't really exist, even though it's subscribed.

Are you sure it's really in the ~/mail/ directory exactly the same? You
could try also talking IMAP directly:

telnet localhost 143
a login user pass
b list "" "folder.with.dots*"

Is it listed?

Anyway it should work fine:

a create "folder.with.dots and spaces and num1234"
a OK Create completed.
b append "folder.with.dots and spaces and num1234" {10}
+ OK
From: foo

b OK Append completed.
