I greatly prefer that my folder tree looks the same whether exported by Courier or Binc. Also, one of my main mail clients, Apple's Mail.app, really likes having all folders to be subfolders of INBOX.

The workaround to reserve a subdirectory name to allow INBOX subfolders is

If we disallow submailboxes of INBOX, and just make it a general rule that
all mailboxes must be next to INBOX and not under it, then we can avoid
this exception.
Is support for submailboxes under INBOX essential to users of Binc IMAP?
To the degree that we'd want to introduce a hack (ignoring or moving
Maildir/.INBOX/) to allow it? I'd have to say no, after giving it a day's
thought.
We can disallow this without breaking anything, and while being completely
compatible with Courier-IMAP.
