Right, if they don't have the 'c' right, they can't create subfolders.

FYI, there is an update to RFC 2086 in the works which splits the ACL 
for creating and deleting mailboxes into 'k' and 'x' respectively ('c' 
becomes a macro for 'kx') and splits the ACL for deleting and expunging 
messages into 't' and 'e' respectively ('d' becomes a macro for 'te'). 
This will give much finer grained control to admins.  I have a patch for 
most of this laying around, I just need to update it to the latest 
version of the draft.
