I'm not sure why you think Mutt is doing this...  I have my maildir
folders set up in exactly the way you say you want and they work fine.
But Mutt, by and large, isn't what created that mailbox structure--it
was procmail.  Presumably it's also true for you that whatever is
delivering your mail is creating the directory structure, and mutt is
just consuming it.
