Is it just me or is it not possible to create subfolders under the INBOX
on an IMAP account?

I've already got several subfolders that the iPhone can see, and I can
create new folders elsewhere, just not under the INBOX.

Can anyone else see this limitation too or is it just me?

It's definitely possible; though whether you are allowed to create
folders depends on how your mail service provider has configured the
mail server.

How? I don't see the INBOX on the iPhone folder list when I'm creating
a folder.

I've got a bunch of existing subfolders under the INBOX, and can create
such folders from Thunderbird, just not iOS 5.

You can't create them from within the iOS 5 Mail application as far as I
know. If your ISP allows you to create them from a web-based email
facility, you could probably create them from within the iOS 5 Safari
application though.

It looks as if "there's an app for that":

There seems to be a free Lite version available as well:

iOS 5 added folder management capabilities, you can delete folders,
create new folders anywhere except as a subfolder of the Inbox.

I stand corrected then.
