If we take what you want the end result to be, and merge that with my stating that ignoring Maildir/.INBOX is not an option, then we get something like this: If .INBOX exists and is a Maildir, then we rename it to an appropriate replacement name, such as .INBOX-Renamed, .INBOX-Renamed-<n> where n increases. If it does not exist, we create it but make it unselectable. Courier-IMAP will not show this in LIST response, but Binc will show it as unselectable, if we create an empty subdirectory with no new/, cur/ and tmp/ directories. That's an invalid Maildir.
