Iirc the libmutt imap parser failed with embedded spaces in one 
particular place (parsing the CAPABILITIES?), and only with 
certain flavors of server (probably Cyrus!)--anyway, it's been 
fixed for a while.  Spaces in folder names aren't causing me any 
more problems--could you experiment with them, without wrecking 
your folder tree?
