It sounds like dovecot only wants to support Maildir++ which doesn't
allow this.  The reason it is not allowed appears to be for more
efficient quota support; although I haven't reviewed it (Maildir++)
thoroughly enough to be sure.

Don't know, but you could use mbox format to get nested folders.  With
uw-imap, I think you could use mh format as well, which gets you close
to maildir.
