The POP3 protocol doesn't allow setting folder names. The only
way this can be acheived is through a hack.

You would be much better off getting an email client that uses
IMAP. What happens during the day when you want to look at
an email from yesterday?

Anyway try this hack. Create several accounts on the server,
one for each folder you have. In each of these accounts make
Maildir a symbolic link to the appropriate folder in the main
account. e.g.

# ln -s ~mainaccount/Maildir/.Folder1 ~folder1/Maildir
# ln -s ~mainaccount/Maildir/.Folder2 ~folder2/Maildir

If my understanding, that subdirectories are a full maildir
implementation in themselves, is correct, then you will be
able to download from each account to get the folder
contents. However don't try anything silly like IMAP or
webmail access while POP3 access is occuring, not sure
how the locking would hold up.

Cheers.
