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.
