Description
Expected behaviour
A user should be able create, delete and rename IMAP folders
Actual behaviour
The user has to do it via the web client
Notes
It doesn't look too complex to implement: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3501#page-34
A similar issue will want to be raised for WebDAV.
This blocks #900

Research direction
Start by reading RFC 3501 page 34 and locating the existing IMAP folder handling in the Android client. Done means users can create, delete, and rename IMAP folders from the app, rather than relying on the web client; account for the related WebDAV issue separately.
