Maildir subfolders detection in KMail2

Hi all,

I set up maildirs for my IMAP accounts by using mbsync. I would like to use them in KMail2 without using KMail's IMAP functionality as my previous experience with it was, lets say, not so fabulous. I've managed to make it working with the maildir resource, however I have trouble with subfolders which are not detected at all. In mbsync I can choose between: Verbatim, Maildir++ and Legacy, as follows:
Suppose mailboxes with the canonical paths top/sub/subsub and INBOX/sub/subsub, the styles will yield the following on-disk paths:
Verbatim - Path/top/sub/subsub and Inbox/sub/subsub (this is the style you probably want to use)
Maildir++ - Inbox/.top.sub.subsub and Inbox/..sub.subsub (this style is compatible with Courier and Dovecot - but note that the mailbox metadata format is not compatible). Note that attempts to set Path are rejected in this mode.
Legacy - Path/top/.sub/.subsub and Inbox/.sub/.subsub (this is mbsync’s historical style)

Yet, KMail maildir resource seems to recognise only subfolders which are located in ".folder.directory" (source). Do you know if KMail maildir resource can be configured for the one of above formats?
