And I plumb hate paths and filenames with spaces, but I did
not know Syplpheed literally translated account names into
paths, without any automatic escaping.

I don't object to spaces in the names of Sylpheed accounts,
but I never use them in the names of IMAP folders.

That's hardly impossible: the standard IMAP structure has
INBOX at the top level.  Insomnia.247 is good, however, but
I have decided on simply Insomnia.
