Yes, that was my question.

Thanks very much for your response.
It seems to me very likely that the problem does lie here.
However, I am running CentOS-6.2,
and now /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf does not seem to contain
any reference to namespace, as it did in CentOS-5.
There is now a directory /etc/dovecot/conf.d ,
and the only mentions of namespace are in /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-mail.conf .
The section on namespaces is commented out by default,
and I have left it like this.
I must admit I do not understand the relevant section.
If I remove the commented advice, it reads:
------------------------------------
#namespace {
#type = private
#separator =
#prefix =
#location =
#inbox = no
#hidden = no
#list = yes
#subscriptions = yes
#}
------------------------------------
Following your advice, I've changed this to
------------------------------------
namespace {
type = private
separator =
prefix =
location =
inbox = yes
hidden = no
list = yes
subscriptions = yes
}
------------------------------------
and run "sudo service dovecot restart" on my server.
Unfortunately, this doesn't seem to have had any effect;
KMail is still unable to add a top-level folder.
