Hello Stan,
thank you for your care, the answer was pretty simple, and yes you're right, I'd better read the docs before:
I tried to create folder named like 'Old Mail' (and in fact I got another mbox container), while I needed to create 'Old Mail/' (note the slash), which results in real filesystem directory.
Oh wow, that is simple. And makes perfect sense. Before my last reply I read the php IMAP command set definitions/parameters and I didn't see anything about how to do this, which is an odd omission in documentation. I guess so few people use mbox these days they omit that case from the docs. I hit three different sources and none of them mentioned the trailing slash for creating 'sub-folders-only' folders...
Thanks for your time anyway!
You're welcome. Sorry I didn't get you the answer, but I'm glad you were able to figure it out on your own.

Stan, thank you for the reply,
But I believe I obey this rule: I create "folder with ONLY folders inside", then in it another "folder with ONLY folders inside", and the into this second folder I create "folder with ONLY messages inside" (the path is "oldmail/lists/dovecot", and oldmail and lists are folders in filesystem, while dovecot is mbox container in filesystem).
My problem is I can not understand which way should I create "folder with ONLY folders inside", and which way to create messages-only folder, going down to IMAP protocol commands. PHP for example looks like use only one command to create a mailbox, no difference what type of it I need.
I understand PHP isn't the only script language to deal with IMAP, so I seek for advice how IMAP works with on protocol level.
Ah, ok. I didn't fully understand your issue. Maybe Timo, or someone else, knows the necessary imap folder creation command sequence for this.
