To be more precise about two previous answer :

cyrus support any character in sub FOLDER name using modified UTF-7 encoding.
For example thunderbird allow you to create any sub folder, in any
language, mixing languages ...
BUT the inbox name has some restriction nably because of it use in
authentication process.
The GOODCHARS list in mboxname.c is one of them.
