IMAPI Create Subdirectory and Add File

Each and every directory object is seperate. You cannot add a file to a directory object if the file would end up in a subdirectory. Or, put in reverse, you can only add a file to the current directory.

To add files to a subdirectory, you not only have to create the subdirectory, but you also have to get the subdirectory object in order to add a file to it.
