Not true. I use Thunderbird as my mail client, and create subfolders... 
I use mbox. (Though I intend to convert to maildir eventually)
When you create a folder, you have to decide whether the folder will 
contain messages only, or other folders. Folders and mesages can not be 
contained in the same folder.
