Are you talking about browsing a Maildir hierarchy from mutt, or just
the physical structure on disc?
I don't browse from within mutt (but see Kevin's reply) but I do have a
directory hierarchy. Admittedly it is shallow and does not have Maildirs
inside Maildirs, but my own folders are like this:
~/mail/foldername # top level "current" folders
~/mail/OLD/YYYY/foldername # archived folders
~/mail/O/foldername # this year's archived folders
I've just got (d)elete bound to move messages into
"O/current-folder-name", and "O" is just a symlink to
"OLD/the-current-year".
So no Maildirs inside Maildirs, but several subdirectories.
Oh, don't forget: don't name any of your folders "tmp" or "cur" or
"new", those names are special for Maildir.
