It's possible to create subdirectories under ~/mail. It's just not 
possible to create a mailbox which also has submailboxes (ie. UNIX 
doesn't support files being also directories).

Creating directories is usually done with IMAP clients by appending '/' 
after the mailbox name. Or simply creating the whole mailbox as 
"sub/mailbox" without creating "sub".
