As far as I am aware, maildrop does *not* support creating Maildirs.

Even if it does support creating top level Maildir (last I tested it
didn't seem to), it doesn't support creating a maildir within a maildir
(this apparently is a bit different, and it used by courier-imap). You
do with with maildirmake (or at least the version I have installed) with
the -f option.

See bug #68685 for details.
