I'm not using subfolders in the Local Folders hierarchy, because I store 
everything in my IMAP server. But now I've made a subfolder "bla" of the 
"drafts" folder in the second level, in order to demonstrate it:

~/.local/share/akonadi_maildir_resource_0 $ ls -la
insgesamt 36
drwxr-xr-x  9 v v 4096 Jan  1 07:15 .
drwxr-xr-x 65 v v 4096 Dez 31 23:37 ..
drwxr-xr-x  5 v v 4096 Dez 19 18:07 drafts
drwxr-xr-x  3 v v 4096 Jan  1 07:15 .drafts.directory
drwxr-xr-x  5 v v 4096 Dez 19 18:07 inbox
drwxr-xr-x  5 v v 4096 Dez 19 18:05 outbox
drwxr-xr-x  5 v v 4096 Dez 19 18:05 sent-mail
drwxr-xr-x  5 v v 4096 Dez 19 18:07 templates
drwxr-xr-x  5 v v 4096 Dez 19 18:07 trash

~/.local/share/akonadi_maildir_resource_0 $ ls -la .drafts.directory
insgesamt 12
drwxr-xr-x 3 v v 4096 Jan  1 07:15 .
drwxr-xr-x 9 v v 4096 Jan  1 07:15 ..
drwxr-xr-x 5 v v 4096 Jan  1 07:15 bla
