Seeing this I just realized that problems may arise if the user
deletes her INBOX and then re-creates it. Is that legal in IMAP?

I would still separate the two steps;

test -d IMAPdir || mkdir IMAPdir
test -e IMAPdir/INBOX || ln -sf ../Maildir IMAPdir/INBOX

-f to force the link even if another invocation just created the
link, and to avoid the error message/return code.

Glad it works! :)
