But its not working anyway, what is missing?

try add list = yes, change hidden = yes to no, add subscriptions = yes
post exact error logs if that does not solve it

So what is on/around line 233 in /etc/dovecot.conf? It seems like that's where I would try to look.
Also, to answer your initial question, you could probably use Maildir instead of mbox if you want a painless way to support subfolders. It's not that mbox can't do it, it's just a little more picky about it.
