I'm not sure, but I believe $imap_delim_chars DOES influence the 
rendering in the folder browser. Specifically, I believe mutt 
internally canonicalizes IMAP paths to use whatever the first 
character in $imap_delim_chars happens to be. But I could be wrong, I 
haven't checked the code to make sure.

Does anyone know definitively?
