One of my Apple Mail users recently complained his mail reader

Playing around with this, I discovered that I could create folders (
as opposed to mialboxes) *if* I specified mailbox name with a trailing
slash.
Has anyone come across this? Is this related to

Which path separators did were used?
'/' (maps directly to filesystem pathname).
The user stated that it behaved "normally" before where folders and
mailboxes were handled without fuss. Thunderbird also has a setting
which hints the client as to whether whether Maildir or MBOX was being
used by forbidding creating mailboxes that also contained other mailboxes.
I guess I'm asking whether the Apple mail client now has a similar control or
it's up to the user to figure it all out.
