Like Phill said, the problem is mbox format. If you don't want to switch
away from it, you can still create Archiv/stuff, if you just don't first
create Archiv as a mailbox. In IMAP protocol terms you need to:
Create Archiv/ directory to filesystem:
1 CREATE Archiv/
Create the mailbox file:
2 CREATE Archiv/child
The 1 step is actually optional. In any case you can probably do both in
the client UI as well by just adding the '/' manually.
You can also create namespaces, making your inbox an mbox and the rest
of the folders Maildir.
Mixed mbox and Maildir
If you have your INBOX as mbox in /var/mail/username and the rest of the
mailboxes in Maildir format under ~/Maildir, you can do this by creating
two namespaces:
namespace private {
separator = /
prefix = "#mbox/"
location = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u
inbox = yes
hidden = yes
list = no # for v1.1+
}
namespace private {
separator = /
prefix =
location = maildir:~/Maildir
}
