I suppose, the mail app under iOS does display all mailboxs, the other 
ones display subscribed ones only.

Because:

~/Maildir is your top mailbox directory.
Then you add Inbox, control and indexes into the very same tree. Moreover 
control and index have names with a leading dot, which means "is a 
mailbox" in Maildir.

Why did you places control and index into a different tree at all, if you 
place them into the mailbox storage anyway?

Either move them to ~/[.]control and ~/[.]index (with or without leading 
dot) or remove the settings at all and join control and index with the 
existing hierarchie.
