Not quite so. The actual folder format is determined by its URL. For
tradition mailbox format (mbox:/ or path URLs), the folder is the local
mailspool directory. For IMAP mailbox (imap:/ URL) the folder represents
whatever namespace is presented to the user by the remote IMAP server,
etc.

Do you mean having a special utility to do so, or having a dedicated
library call to do so?

Folder_create creates a folder structure basing on the given URL. It is
up to underlying implementation to actually handle it.
