Depends on the IMAP server.  Using Cyrus IMAP, I have quite a few
folders that contain both folders and files.  Using any IMAP server
that support Maildir message storage should be able to do this.  It is
only the IMAP servers that use mbox message storage that cannot.

To "move" a folder into another folder simple requires:
  - creating a new folder in the correct location, with a different name
  - moving all the messages from the old folder to the new folder
  - deleting the old folder
  - renaming the new folder to the old name
