No probably not - although I haven't experimented with this myself prior
to posting (too tired); as I remember you can still access subdir'd
maildirs. After all, your Mail/foo are $HOME/Mail/foo, so
$HOME/Mail/blah/foo isn't any different,
provided blah isn't a Maildir itself, at least.
But even then, as I remember, c ~/Mail/blah/foo <enter> worked for me.
You're perhaps correct in noticing that mutt won't offer up subdirs in
this fashion through its menus, or with = shortcuts.
