There are no reserved or illegal characters. Each implementation can decide which delimiter character to use. The client will know the delimiter of the server by sending a LIST command with no additional argument. The server should then send ".INBOX" or "/INBOX" or whichever delimiter it uses followed by INBOX. See 6.3..8. LIST Command of rfc2060.
The delimiter is usually "." or "/". It might break poorly written clients to use something else.
Agreed, I've seen clients screwed by anything but / as the delimiter and would favor that.
