I'm also having this problem with one of my IMAP accounts.

According to this article about MS Outlook, some IMAP servers put all folders
under the Inbox folder. Outlook actually has a "Root Folder" setting, which if
set to Inbox, will make the other folders appear as top level.

So maybe the nested folder structure is not due to a bug in KMail but just how
the servers behave? It would be nice to have a similar "Root Folder" setting
though, so users can use their IMAP accounts in a consistent way.

I'm not sure if this is related to the problem where Server-Side Subscriptions
must be turned off in order to view emails in the Inbox folder.
