dovecot allows arbitary hierarchy. Its just that Maildir+ uses a
flat(ish) structure, so the hierarchy is mapped into that structure.
So the folder
level1/level2/level3/level4
maps to the Maildir subdirectory
.level1.level2.level3.level4
(with cur/tmp/new under that)
So hierarchical storage quotas would need to work round that.
BTW it would be normal to actually have the following subdirectories in
this scenario:-
.level1
.level1.level2
.level1.level2.level3
.level1.level2.level3.level4
