Sorry I probably didn't explain myself well enough. I know *how* to create folders in the clients it just that making nested folders which contain both mail and subfolders is not allowed. I guessed it had something to do with mbox vs maildir but where do you specify the use of maildir over mbox.
I tried setting:
default_mail_env = maildir:/home/%u/mail
in dovecot.conf and it still wouldn't allow me to make nested folders.

Melinda,
what local delivery agent (LDA) are you using? you'll most likely need to configure *it* to use Maildir format as well.
my setup uses procmail as the LDA and I've configured the /etc/procmailrc file with "DEFAULT=$HOME/Maildir/" (note trailing slash) to tell it to use Maildir format.
it may be that simple. please check the appropriate documentation for the applications you're using.
hope this helps
