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.
