Your IMAP daemon's docs are your starting point.

'basics' - so long as the folders are under the appropriate Maildir for a given
user, with the same perms, AND the MUA is NOT limited to 'show subscribed
folders only' Dovecot, to name one, picks them up.

Courier-IMAP is a little pickier about where they are (under INBOX) and whether
they have a "." prefix.

Bincimap, GW-IMAP, Cyrus, and others I haven't had hands-on for several years.

In all cases, just configure Exim to name and drop with whatever the IMAP daemon
expects.

HTH,
