[mew-int 2395] Space in imap-folder name

Hello everyone,

When using some imap-servers, I find that I cannot access imap-folders
with a space in their name, even though tab-completion suggests their
name. After some digging in the code I found the following lines in
mew-minibuf.el

	(when (string-match " " folder)
	  (mew-warn "SPC is not allowed!")
	  (throw 'continue nil))

Why is this? Because for instance gmail or an ms-exchange server give
you imap-folders with a space in them. Or is there an obvious way to
quote these names? 

Kind regards,

Wilfred de Bondt
