There is an plug-in for Apple Mail (and now an app for sandbox reasons) 
called [MsgFiler](http://msgfiler.com) that provides the functions as 
Matt has described. It has even a similar UI. MsgFiler allows to 
navigate to a mailbox (like the "Go to Mailbox" command in Mailmate) and 
then to [create a new mailbox as a child from the selected parent 
mailbox](http://msgfiler.com/support/docs/#newmailbox). Maybe it would 
be an idea to use a similar approach in MailMate.
