With mbox storage, an IMAP FOLDER contains only sub folders or it contains only messages. It CANNOT contain BOTH.
Dovecot can store both folders and messages in a folder, under mbox.
Not by default, and not without potential headaches. I'm still waiting to see someone post here that they're using this setup in a production environment, and that it works seamlessly with XYZ IMAP clients, backup software, current custom scripts without requiring a rewrite, etc. mbox capability in this regard hasn't changed for some 15-20 years until Timo suggested this with Dovecot.
The capability may exist, but until I see that it is being used successfully in production environments, I'm going to continue stating the standard mbox capability. To do otherwise at this point will only serve to confuse people.
