After this is done, I create a subfolder ABC by entering

Now how can I tell Courier to deliver mail to the subfolder ABC?
The simplest way to direct all mail to a subfolder would be to create a
".courier" file in your home directory with one line:
./Maildir/.ABC/
If you want to direct selected mail, you should use maildrop as your
delivery agent, and create a ".mailfilter" file.
The background of this whole thing is that I want to have IMAP folders like
Inbox, Sent and Trash which reside on the same hierarchy level.
Then "modify" your IMAP account configuration in Kmail and set the
"Prefix to folders" setting to "INBOX".
If I just
let Courier direct mail to ~/Maildir and access ~/Maildir with my e-mail
client (KMail) via IMAP, I have a top level folder Inbox and all other
folders I create are located below Inbox. This is, of course, nonsensical.
I sometimes think the same thing about the noise made over a such a
cosmetic feature. ;)
