AFAIK imap-uw does support subfolders, to the same extent that UNIX
supports subdirectories. The problem is that you can't have a
mailbox file and a subdirectory of the same name in a directory. So in
foo/bar, bar is a mailbox and foo/ is a  directory - so there can't be
a top-level mailbox called foo.

It's just a matter of organizing your mailboxes to take account of
this.
