Details

to reproduce: create a folder in an IMAP account with a name containing & or + or other special characters.

result: nothing happens.

expected: the "new folder"-dialog should forbid entering such characters, accompanied by some warning.

Can you log the IMAP session and report it here? https://wiki.mozilla.org/MailNews:Logging
