Here is the copy of my mail to the kde-pim ML:

The problem is that it is not straightforward to support both the KMail 
style maildir layout and the dovecot style Maildir++.

For the following structure:
Folder1
  Folder2
     Folder3

KMail(1&2) uses this:

Folder1
  cur 
  new
  tmp
.Folder1.directory  - contains the subfolders of Folder1
  cur
  new 
  tmp
  Folder2
     cur
     new
     tmp
  .Folder2.directory - subfolder for Folder2
     Folder3

Dovecot would need this as:
Folder1
  cur
  new
  tmp
  .Folder2
     cur
     new
     tmp
  .Folder2.Folder3
     cur
     new
     tmp

As  you can see they are completely different. In dovecot style sub-
subdirectories are not layed out as such on the file system.

Sincerely I'd just keep the current layout as it is and not bother with 
"real" subdirectories.
This will make bug 289183 a wontfix and will require user intervention to 
import completely the folder structure.
