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.

I am running dovecot under fedora core 2 and cannot figure out where I set it so that users can create nested folders. At the moment they can only create one subfolder in most mail clients.
thunderbird right click on account "new folder" -> "foo" -> right click on "foo" -> "new subfolder" -> "bar"
now i have "foo/bar"
on disk it looks like ~/Maildir/.foo ~/Maildir/.foo.bar
if you use mbox you cant have folders inside of folders which contain mails.
so long.
