Sorry. Tried to ask more precisely in my reply to Alan.

Sure, but I'd like to know how to represent the directory structure in
my script. Finding (os.walk) and copying the mails is not the problem.

Well, I just like to know how to do that. Of course, I can find the
mails with os.walk and move them. Create the necessary directory
structure with something like mkdir -p. That's no problem. But when I
want to print a list for example, I have to keep the structure, because
folders have different meanings depending where they're in the tree.
