[Dovecot] Nested folders

[Melinda Taylor]

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.

Ta :)
