True, but the organization of the filesystem is not directly correlated
to the folders as they are presented to the client.  Cyrus' mailstore
should be treated as a black box;  internal operations/storage don't
necessarily relate to what is externally presented.  Various directives
in imapd.conf can change folder organization.
