Create Subfolder Under Inbox in Mail

I am pretty sure this can't be done, but just thought I'd ask. Is it possible to create a subfolder under Inbox in Mail?

Thanks.

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.4)

All of the above solutions don't seem to work very well. In Sierra, all my mailboxes disappeared as one user stated. A simple restart of Mail brought everything back.


The method I use (and not everyone can do this) is to add the mailbox to another PC or Mac-based Outlook Exchange server account that is the same as your Mac Mail account. Outlook allows adding folders under the Inbox b/c it creates a new sub account under its own Inbox. That will automatically populate the new mailbox under the Inbox on the Mac based Exchange account. I do this almost everywhere, as the Exchange server is a good place to keep the backup of your email. Well, it's a lot better system than I could ever create, anyway. It's amazingly fast to populate your entire email environment (providing the PC or Mac has enough space).
