This sounds like Kmail is creating the corresponding IMAP tree structure
for each folder you create with it.
For example, (on my dovecot powered IMAP server), I see an IMAP tree
like:
INBOX
INBOX.saved
INBOX.ilug
INBOX.Sent
which is stored as:
~/Maildir/
~/Maildir/.saved
~/Maildir/.ilug
~/Maildir/.Sent
So you might want to consider keeping the .MyFolder directories you are
seeing. Or hack together a script to symlink .MyFolder to MyFolder, if
you want to save disk space
