Hi Christian,

it's either one, or the other.

Additional nesting of folders notwithstanding, either all folders not 
the INBOX folder reside, hierarchically, under the INBOX folder, or all 
folders not the INBOX folder reside hierarchically next to the INBOX 
folder.

The configuration option that impacts whether or not this happens is 
called 'altnamespace' in /etc/imapd.conf.

With altnamespace set to '1', a folder hierarchy would look as follows:

   INBOX/
   Calendar/
   Sent/

In this case, a user can create a folder 'Drafts/' for example, but not 
a folder 'INBOX/Drafts/'.

With altnamespace set to '0' (the default), a folder hierarchy would 
look as follows:

   INBOX/
   INBOX/Calendar/
   INBOX/Sent/

In this case, a user can create a folder 'INBOX/Drafts/' for example, 
but not a folder 'Drafts/'.

Hope this helps!

Kind regards,

Jeroen van Meeuwen
