I don't know, but I would love to get this fixed as well. It's
particularly irritating when composing, because if your connection
gets dropped, you can't save the FCC of your message, which means you
can't SEND the message you've just spent an hour composing. Mutt will
demand to know if you want to create this folder (which did exist,
back when you were connected). If you say no, it'll abort sending. If
you say yes, it'll try to connect, fail (because mutt seems to be
incapable of reconnecting to an SSL imap server), and abort sending.
You might try filing a bug on http://bugs.mutt.org, I don't know if
one exists for this problem yet or not.
