perhaps the OP is confusing courier's 'maildir++' documentation with
Maildir itself.  courier imapd does actually allow subfolders, and this
is the default. folders start with a '.' by default.

you can put:
set mask="^\\."
to show only folders starting with a leading dot.

personally, i've found that the better way to use both courier IMAP and
local Maildir folders is either to put your actual mail folders in
~/Mail/ and then create symlinks from ~/Mail/foo/ to ~/Maildir/.foo/, or
to do the opposite and link ~/Maildir/.foo/ to ~/Mail/foo/.

courier's strange way of doing things makes sense when the only access
to the system is via IMAP, but it's a pain to use with local folders.
