AFAIK there is no way to tell the pop3 server to serve additional folders. It will always hand out the mails in the INBOX (top level maildir). If the mails are retrieved via pop3 they are in most cases deleted from the server (on request of the client). So if the user collects all mail via pop3 and logs in via Squirrelmail afterwards, he won't see any mails. That's the way it is and I don't know how it could be done different. IMO all freemailers, that provide webmail and pop3 access have the same 'problem'. Your users must decide to either use webmail only, pop3 only, or to use pop3 and see only the newly arrived mails via webmail. If they create folders via webmail nad move messages into these folders, they will stay there forever.
