What do you mean by "specify"?  Typing in the folder name in the minibuffer?
I think Gnu Emacs, by default, doesn't use <SPC> for completion.  You must
have altered the minibuffer keymap.  In the worst case, you could go back to
the default keymap.  Or you could pick the folder name with the mouse from
the *Completions* buffer.

If you are actually going to be using virtual folders, you could pick your
own virtual folder name and avoid spaces in it.

(I think IMAP folder name completion didn't work fully in the 8.2.0a
release.  Anthony Mallet fixed it a few revisions later.  I intend to get
the next release out by the end of the holiday season.)
