Save new directories in the Maildir format in neomutt

It took me some time to stumble over this mistake, but now I'm finally
able to create new directories directly from neomutt and get them
synched correctly to the IMAP-server.
Since I use G-Mail right now that frees me from creating labels for
everything since I can now freely move my mails through the directories
and the sync will create the labels automatically.

Btw. the default is mbox as stated in the docs.
