Even worse is that it is perfectly reasonable that when a user asks their client to create INBOX/foo/bar, that it create all the higher level folders as well, thereby completely innocently creating ./.INBOX, ./.INBOX.foo, ./.INBOX.foo.bar.etc. Of course then some maroon would manually create a directory "./.INBOX", and the code would blow up. Of course my code would have the same problem with "./:".
After all, if foo didn't exist already, one wouldn't be too far off in expecting it to be created for you.
