So that means that it is not possible to changse IMAP server? As if servers 
are free to choose on-disk representation or separator as they wish trying 
out a  different IMAP server will/might mess up the Maildir?

I probably didn't formulate my question clearly. What I meant to ask was 
whether the IMAP standard allow for MUAs and IMAP servers (isn't that a 
IMAP-server issue as well?) to implement drag and drop of entire folders 
(seen from a users point of view). I though there might perhaps be 
compability issues involved? This question is perhaps related to the first 
one.
