You're forgetting that domain names are for people, computers look for IP
addresses.

Because the name's resolves to the same IPaddress of the server.

Different names at the same address get put in the same mail box.

mydomain.com/other will send to other folder.

You would need different IP addresses for each of the 'other' vhost folders to
be considered different places. 

Xitami is small enough you could run a different site each with it's own VHost
name on different ports. 
IE: 
Register ipaddress:80 for main, ipadress:8080 for vhost1 & using different ports
for each vhost site.

Or just do like the big guys (& the rest of us) do & put each site at
maindomain/~vhost for each different site. Which is a lot easier.
