I'm sorry, I think I've explained myself poorly :( What I'm trying to 
achieve is a "support" folder INSIDE Inbox, so that an email client will 
show a structure like this one:

Inbox
   +--- support
Sent
Trash

What I'm getting instead is:

Inbox
Sent
Trash
support

I have used the "." separator, but the new folder gets created beside 
the inbox instead of inside :( Do you mean that using "LAYOUT=fs" I 
could achieve that? Can this setting be changed without breaking other 
stuff? This is a fairly active email server

Many thanks again!
