Easily creating nested folders in Mail

When creating a local mailbox in Mail.app, if you put a forward slash in the mailbox name, it will create subfolders. The words you put between the slashes determine the level of the folder in the heirarchy. For example:
- a/b/c will create mailbox c within b within a.
- a/b/d will create mailbox d in the same folder as c.
Quite a timesaver if you organise mail by date.
