It's because some IMAP servers, Cyrus is one of them, support having
folders inside folders, and a mailbox with the same namespace as a
folder.
So what you get in mutt is folders having the . appended, and the plain
mailbox with the real name.
It irritates me too, unfortunately I don't think its possible, in a
generic way, for mutt to figure out which are mailboxes and which are
folders. I think the problem would best be solved by Brendan's idea of
a proxy IMAP server - this server could support specialised situations
like this, and mutt doesn't have to worry about it.
