If you create a folder (say it is called ABC) in Kmail and start putting mail in it, Kmail creates a directory on the disk called ABC (not .ABC) and creates the cur, new and tmp folders within it to contain the email.
If you then create a subfolder of ABC (say it is called DEF, contained within the ABC folder), Kmail creates a directory on the disk called .ABC.directory and creates the DEF directory within that.
Are you sure about that? If I create an imap folder it asks me whether I intend it to contain other folders OR messages.
I'm talking about Kmail's own local maildir folders, not Kmail using IMAP folders. I am not trying to access any IMAP folders from Kmail: I am trying to use IMAP to serve Kmail local folders to other mail clients.
If I ask Kmail to create a maildir folder in Local Folders it is happy for it to contain both messags and other folders. I use that heavily.
