Where would you put mailbox files then? Simply put your maildirs there.
This is no less obvious if you consider maildirs a replacement for mbox
files.

Then simply do whatever your imapd does and don't worry about
compatibility. On the other hand, maybe there are different IMAP
servers, web gateways etc. that should use the same strucutre.
In other words: Why use an incompatible format if you can use one that
is already there?

Yes, and the best solution IMO is to use the "standard" that has already
been set by user agents.
