I think this is interesting, because according to the author of Courier, 
it cannot work with mbox, only Maildir. Anyway, I can't think of any 
advanced features that are missing from Courier, and I can think of a 
couple that are not in other servers.

I usually use Thunderbird to interface with my Courier server, and it 
has never asked me, if I wanted a folder to be able to contain other 
folders or not. I think that is a client issure, not a server issue.
