I used mutt again to save a message to =INBOX. It ended up in "~/Mail/new".
I also saved a message to =folder/subfolder. It ended up in
"~/Mail/.folder.subfolder/new".
I now have:
$ ls -a Mail/
. dovecot.index.cache dovecot-uidvalidity .foo
.. dovecot.index.log dovecot-uidvalidity.57f7f3d5 new
cur dovecot-uidlist .folder.subfolder tmp
and mbsync -l -Dn -a reports:
>>> 1 NAMESPACE
* NAMESPACE (("" ".")) NIL NIL
1 OK Namespace completed.
>>> 2 LIST "" "*"
* LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." folder.subfolder
* LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." foo
* LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." INBOX
2 OK List completed.
INBOX
folder/subfolder
foo
>>> 3 LOGOUT
These results seem to match the link that Guillem mentioned earlier:
