Yes, and yes (depending on your parent folder's delimiter, which is
probably static). Well, anyway it usually works to move to, say,
"Mail/Friends/Bill Gates", but there may be servers that don't support
that... Mutt doesn't currently support commands to add/delete/rename
folders, though that shouldn't be that hard to implement. I'm just
trying to do bugfixes right now.
