Don't seem to be able to do it in mutt either, so perhaps it isn't part of the IMAP spec?
You cannot create subfolders when using mbox (IMAP has nothing to do with it). If you need this functionality, you will have to switch to the maildir format.
That's definitely wrong.
While this is a dim area of imap, working with subflolders (which are directories on the server side) and mbox mail folders is definitely possible.
The ususal restriction is that mailboxes are imposs^Wdiscouraged on the same level as subfolders, i.e you can have mailboxes on the tips of the tree, only, not on the nodes. Some clients (Eudora, notably) appear to have less problems with that than others (e.g. Mozilla).
