AFAIK imap-uw does support subfolders, to the same extent that UNIX supports subdirectories. The problem is that you can't have a mailbox file and a subdirectory of the same name in a directory. So in foo/bar, bar is a mailbox and foo/ is a directory - so there can't be a top-level mailbox called foo. It's just a matter of organizing your mailboxes to take account of this.
