This is normal behaviour. It has nothing to do with the client
program, it is done by courier-imap at the server side.
>From /usr/share/doc/courier-doc/README.sharedfolders.html, on the
Maildir++ "standard":
[...]
Maildir++ and Maildir shall be completely interchangeable. A
Maildir++ client will be able to use a standard Maildir,
automatically "upgrading" it in the process. A Maildir client will
be able to use a Maildir++ just like a regular Maildir. Of course,
a plain Maildir client won't be able to enforce a quota, and won't
be able to access messages stored in folders.
Folders are created as subdirectories under the main Maildir. The
name of the subdirectory always starts with a period. For example,
a folder named "Important" will be a subdirectory called
".Important". You can't have subdirectories that start with two
periods.
[...]
Can folders have subfolders, defined in a recursive fashion? The
answer is no. If you want to have a client with a hierarchy of
folders, emulate it. Pick a hierarchy separator character, say
":". Then, folder foo/bar is subdirectory .foo:bar.
