 ok. I guess we're still not converting to local representation everywhere.
 I don't suppose you could send me a muttdebug for the failure case?

 imap_delim_chars setting in your .muttrc. It defaults to '/.', but I
 personally use './' precisely so that the path separators are displayed as
 '.'.

 a dot (since dovecot 1.0.x). What should idata->delim refer to BTW? The
 delimiter advertised by the imap-server?

 yes, once mutt knows the delimiter (by running LIST "" "" when it first
 connects, IIRC), it should substitute idata->delim into IMAP paths to
 replace any occurence of the characters in imap_delim_chars. IOW if your
 imap_delim_chars is "/." and your URL is imap://foo/Lists.folder/baz, and
 idata->delim is ., mutt should send the server Lists.folder.baz, whereas
 if idata->delim is /, mutt will send Lists/folder/baz.

 The reason you see Lists/foo when you start up is that mutt hasn't
 connected to the IMAP server at the point where you define your folder or
 spoolfile, so it falls back to using the first char of imap_delim_chars.
 Again, this is supposed to be purely cosmetic, but apparently we're still
 not canonicalizing properly somewhere.
