I dunno. I tried doing it manually and mutt wouldn't see it.
I suppose courier-imap needs a "special" layout.
Must be something to do with INBOX being virtual.

Folders are simply subdirectories inside the main maildir whose names
start with a period, and which are themselves maildirs. For example,
the command "maildirmake -f Drafts mail/Maildir" creates
mail/Maildir/.Drafts, that has the usual tmp, new and cur. You MUST
use the -f option, instead of specifying mail/Maildir/.Drafts directly,
in order to correctly initialize certain enhanced maildir features.
Folders cannot be created directly within other folders. Running
maildirmake -f Urgent mail/Maildir/.Drafts will not work. Instead, the
period character is designated as a hierarchy separator, run
maildirmake -f Drafts.Urgent mail/Maildir instead. This creates
mail/Maildir/.Drafts.Urgent, and all mail software that supports
enhanced maildirs will interpret it as a subfolder Urgent of the Drafts
folder.

Which I'd seen other in other posts.

Don't forget to check that your /etc/apt/sources.lst entries point to
etch and not testing, otherwise you may end up with a broken system once
etch goes stable.
