why?
there are other files in the root directory:
.subscriptions
.customflags
and in this case the directory stucture would be consistent.
what's more currently e.g. under mozilla's subscribe INDEX shown as a 
folder to be able to subscribe althougfh there is no such "real" mail 
folder. which is confusing. what's more what happens if someone would 
like to create a folder called INBOX? hmm...
