What's wrong with the ampersand, either in a unix file name or in an
IMAP folder? It's us-ascii, so it's legal in IMAP. And I'm positive that
it's legal in a unix filename too. (If you have trouble accessing it in
the shell, it's because your shell parses the & for "execute in the
background", and you have to escape it as in \& or enclose the filename
in quotes).

If the aforementioned bug has been fixed, I believe that all should be
well now. All non-us-ascii characters are encoded properly in modified
IMAP UTF7 for some time now. And the delimiter, quotes etc. are all
checked for (see src/folders_create.php for details).
