Not possible without patching. There's also the other possibility of doing something like: # Trick mbox configuration which allows a mail folder which contains both # messages and sub-folders mail_location = mbox:~/mail/mailboxes:DIRNAME=mBoX-MeSsAgEs:INDEX=~/mail/index:CONTROL=~/mail/control from http://wiki2.dovecot.org/MboxChildFolders
