When my POP account syncs, new messages are loaded into my local inbox.
Mail sent through that server are stored in my local sent-mail folder,
deleted messages are in my local trash, etc. RSS feeds have folders in
my local tree.

folders. I also have a gmail IMAP account and that also syncs to its
own set of folders. I'm not having any problem with either of those.
