Just because Courier IMAP does that doesn't mean that Maildirs are
actually permitted to have subfolders therein.

Please provide the Maildir spec which states that directories other than
cur, new, and tmp may be present in a Maildir.  I am sure that, given a
proper reference, the developers will fix the code so that Maildirs are
handled with full capabilities as they are designed.  You can count on
mutt to Do It Right.

Sure; procmail will put mail wherever you tell it to.  That also doesn't
mean that Maildirs are permitted to have subfolders therein.

I look forward to a pointer to the spec or an actual copy posted to the
list.
