I already know how to use procmail, thanks, but that's not the question I'm asking. > Folders can be created/deleted by the local email client (such as > Pine), or at the command line. Local email client? Command line? Are we talking about the same thing? I think I'm asking a very simple question, but I might be wrong. I'll try to explain the scenario again: I have an e-mail account accessible via POP3 and I want to know if I can have my e-mail there (classified in several folders) so I can read/manage it using my POP3 e-mail client from any computer/device. > There may be issues with the remote email client retrieving messages > in anything other than the default inbox, though. To my knowledge there's no way in POP3 to manage multiple folders using the same account, could you point me to the RFC that describes how to do it? > the whole concept of serve-side email folder and file management > seems like it's contrary to one's best interests.
