You are probably using a Maildir++ depot, and all mailboxes must be
created under INBOX. Seems your client wants to use Maildir/ as the root
folder, but it should use INBOX, that is INBOX/Trash.
You can change to IMAPdir if you don't like this requirement. In the
Mailbox section of your global bincimap.conf file or local .bincimap file,
set depot = "IMAPdir" like this, together with all the other settings:
Mailbox { depot = "IMAPdir" }
Then you need to create a symlink inside the Maildir that points to the
current directory, like this:
~/Maildir/INBOX -> ~/Maildir
Then you can create mailboxes at any level.

PS: The error message sucks ;). I'll make a friendlier one.
