I remember we already had this discussion before, and I am not worried
at all by a local mailbox having some children. Why would only IMAP

I'm sure you would not want to introduce an inconcistency between IMAP
and local folders... ;)

I just checked that both Outlook and Eudora do put the dropped folder as
child of the target folder. It seems pretty natural to me.
