No, a correct maildir must not contain other subdirectories. Just
consider a maildir a blackbox and do not mess with its internals.

Mail/folder1
Mail/folder1/folder21
Mail/folder1/folder21/maildir121
Mail/folder1/folder21/maildir122
Mail/folder1/folder21/maildir123
...
Mail/folder1/maildir11
Mail/folder1/maildir12
Mail/folder1/maildir13
...
Mail/folder2
Mail/folder2/maildir21
Mail/folder2/maildir22
Mail/folder2/maildir23
...
And for mbox just do s/maildir/mbox/g.
