You must have been doing something wrong.  I have Dovecot in multiple
places and never had any trouble creating folders/subfolders.

I use Maildir format for my mail store, for multiple reasons that you
can research via Google if you're curious.  Perhaps the Maildir support
is better than mbox.  If that's the case, you may want to consider
switching to Maildir -- there is at least one mbox -> Maildir conversion
utility out there.
