I tested the following:

cd /home/vmail/foo.eu/bos/MAILDIR
ln -s .INBOX/* .

- -> BOS becomes selectable, actually the LIST response changes from:

* LIST (\Noselect \HasChildren) "." BOS
- -to-
* LIST (\HasChildren) "." BOS

You have "INBOX" still, but my version of Thunderbird does not select 
"BOS", because it tries to select "BOS.BOS".

mkdir .BOS
chown ... .BOS
cd .BOS
ln -s ../{do*,new,cur,tmp} .

makes BOS selectable for Thunderbird, but now you have 3 INBOXes ... .
