The problem is with mbox in general. Mbox can only contain messages, and

go to
server settings, click advanced, and clear the checkbox on "Server supports
folders that contain sub-folders and messages".
It's a consequence of mbox, but the "problem" is with Thunderbird's
persistent interface mis-features in the name of "configurabiilty".
