I'm talking about Kmail's own local maildir folders, not Kmail using IMAP 
folders.  I am not trying to access any IMAP folders from Kmail: I am trying 
to use IMAP to serve Kmail local folders to other mail clients.

If I ask Kmail to create a maildir folder in Local Folders it is happy for it 
to contain both messags and other folders.  I use that heavily.
