What IMAP server are you using cyrus-imap or dovecote? If you're using cyrus as I am then the root folder is the inbox and it works for me. If its dovecot, I believe that you can't add folders to the inbox, unless something has changed and there is a way to do that which I am not aware of. However, the root folder is the very top level of the tree structure, that is, the alias of email account. If you can't add a folder there, it may be bug in kmail. If it is someother external source, then we need more details about how you have worked in the past. IE have you been able to create folders from what your root folder is? I wish I could be of better help.
