Courier uses '.' as the mailbox hierarchy delimiter, as I said. So when mutt uses '.' in the mailbox name, disregarding the fact that it's a delimiter, is happens to work (perhaps even by accident). But Binc IMAP uses '/' as the delimiter. mutt should automatically switch to using '/' in its folder names, if it uses '.' deliberately for that reason. If it doesn't, then it's a bug in mutt.
