Folders are created ok and can be opened in 5.0.5 but still cannot be removed: Could not open mailbox. This is a new issue on a new version, please create a new ticket.

Same here, I remove the characters of the folders in my maildir and edit the "subscriptions" file.

Folders which has unicode characters in name cannot be open (IMAP error: Mailbox does not exist, or must be subscribed to.). Looks like IMP is codeing unicode characters in a wrong way, this is probably happenning only from 5.0.4 and was ok before. I also tried to create folder with name 'd?g' and IMP created 'd&-AWU-g' (and it was also displaying it like this in menu). After i renamed folder on filesystem to 'd&AWU-g', displaying was ok but folder wasn't working. Also folders with unicode characters created before cannot be open (IMP is always trying to open folder with additional '-' after the '&' which seems to be not ok).
