that it should always be there, and you are not allowed to create
subfolders of it.

You are allowed.



Anyway, the mail servers I am familiar with do place INBOX at the same
left as Sent, Draft, and whatever other top level folders you might have
rather than nesting everything under INBOX.

I believe that it is up to the client that is making those mailboxes. I use mozilla, and it creates those mailboxes under the INBOX mailbox.


Here is some hierarchy of multiple mailboxes on my cyrus imap server

...
[EMAIL PROTECTED] (\HasNoChildren)
[EMAIL PROTECTED] (\HasNoChildren)
[EMAIL PROTECTED] (\HasChildren)
[EMAIL PROTECTED] (\HasChildren)
[EMAIL PROTECTED] (\HasChildren)
...

Cyrus appends the user's domain name at the end of every mailbox for virtual server support.
