So you have a folder 'a', that has sub-folders 'a/b' and 'a/c', and a target
folder 'd', and you want to move 'a' to become a sub-folder of 'd'?  The
trick is to remember that it's all just files, so tools like 'mv' will work:

mv Mail/a Mail/d

and you're done.  If you wanted to *merge* 'a' and 'd', you probably need to:

folder +a
refile 1:last +d   # This probably loses all the sequences in 'a'
cd ~/Mail/a     # Deal with the sub-folders, that refile doesn't move.
mv * ~/Mail/d   # all done, and sequences in a/b and a/c should be intact.
