Has anyone come across this?  Is this related to

Which path separators did were used?


'/'  (maps directly to filesystem pathname).

The user stated that it behaved "normally" before where folders and
mailboxes were handled without fuss.  Thunderbird also has a setting
which hints the client as to whether whether Maildir or MBOX was being
used by forbidding creating mailboxes that also contained other mailboxes.

I guess I'm asking whether the Apple mail client now has a similar control or
it's up to the user to figure it all out.
