dovecot - May 2005 - Help on dovecot, imap, maildir and subfolders

I have Fedora Core 2 and dovecot-0.99.10.5-0. I've
done nothing to configure it but it seems to have
found the Mail dir in my home directory ok and I can
connect using IMAP. But I can't create subfolders.

If I right click on inbox, there's a 'New Folder...',
but if I create one then right click on it, no more
'New Folder...'. So it seems folders can only go one
level deep.

Many Thanks!
Lanhai LI

You'll have to create the subfolders as "new/subfolder". Then it 
creates "new" as a directory instead of as a mailbox.
