Dovecot has always been rejecting this when used with Maildir format (other formats allow it): a rename inbox plop a NO [CANNOT] Renaming INBOX isn't supported (0.001 + 0.000 secs). I've never heard anyone complain about it. I've a feeling Courier is rejecting it as well, but can't check now easily.
