These extensions are mimicking the abilities of a POP3 mail server as far as Thunderbird is concerned. The rules of what a POP mail server can do are limited by the very old and very rigid POP protocol that all mail servers and clients (like Thunderbird) *must* obey.
These extensions can take a few liberties with the POP protocol but they are limited in how far they can go. The Yahoo extension allows you to specify in its options the custom folders on Yahoo that you wish to be included in the mail download. All mail downloaded by these extensions can *only* be downloaded to the Inbox on Thunderbird (that POP protocol again). So all email from whatever folder on Yahoo will go to the same location in Thunderbird. However, the Yahoo extension places an X-Folder header line in every email it downloads specifying the folder from which it originated in Yahoo. So, you can write a filter in Thunderbird to check the for the X-Folder header line and the originating folder in Yahoo and use it to move the message to your desired folder in Thunderbird.
