Far as I know, that's usually a client-side issue.  I had the same thing 
come up when I was using Cyrus where a folder can hold either messages or 
more folders.  Netscape has an option where you can have both or they're 
mutually exclusive.

Nowadays, I'm using mbox, so they're sorta mutually exclusive. ;)
