What syntax were you expecting to use?Ermwell, just right click on the subfolder, select "New subfolder", enter name, and voilà... With Dovecot/wu-imapd and mbox storage, It Just Works(tm). Heck, it even works with OutLook. With Courier IMAP and Maildir++ storage, it does _not_, and as far as I'm concerned, that's a fact. What I find really
Courier-IMAP is not a mail client. It has no control over what the mail client does or does not.
I don't expect a mail client to send different commands to different IMAP server software, since it cannot tell them apart anyway. Neither can it tell whether the storage is mbox or Maildir. So, what's wrong?
Nothing, as far as the server is concerned.

I want things to work, and as they don't currently, I'm trying to find a reason.
If you have a problem using your IMAP clients, that's where you should look.What concrete evidence leads you to believe otherwise? You can look all you want, but you won't find anything. The server has no control over what clients do or do not.
If it's _really_ a problem with clients, then I think the Courier IMAP page should have a "Client issues" page such as this one for Dovecot: http://wiki.dovecot.org/Clients
Thank you for volunteering to maintain and keep track of various client issues.
