I don't think so.  I just setup an old P233 as an imap server for my 
home LAN, and am using mozilla as the client.  I can create directories 
in mozilla and have mozilla sort the mail into the specified 
directories, but under linux they are not really directories, just 
single files for each directory (which for some reason are put in your 
home directory instead of /var/spool/mail).  I think you must use the 
Maildir mailbox format to actually use directories.  I am in the process 
of compiling/installing Courier IMAP and Maildrop, to take advantage of 
the Maildir format.
