[Dovecot] mbox and dual-use folders?

[John Robinson]

Feature request: please can we have support for messages stored in mbox 
files, but folders containing both messages and folders. I think this 
could be done for a folder called e.g. dovecot-list by having an mbox 
file called dovecot-list and a directory called dovecot-list.folder (or 
whatever, says he handwaving away name clashes which can be worked 
around like they are in maildirs). This may be a subset or variant of

Cheers,

John.
