Hello

When creating new IMAP folder with thunderbird and Dovecot
configured with the std MBOX format dovecot create a file in
mbox format and so it is not possible to create a subfolder of
this folder.

If you ask to create a NEW subfolder of the form : TOTO/TATA
Dovecot create a directory TOTO containing a mbox file TATA.

Very useful :-)

I suppose the "/" separator is parsed by dovecot then it creates
a directory containing the mbox file. Am I right ?
