Exim can store mail in mbox, maildir or mailstore format. The choice of
which it uses is generally made according to how the mail needs to be
accessed.

Exim doesn't force any particular format, or any particular directory
layout for the mailboxes other than what's required for a storage format
(eg ./Maildir).

So you're back to asking the webmail provider how the mails should be
stored in order for the webmail system to pick them up.
