How do I allow the creation of local folders on a ssl imap server

[Craig White]

If you create the folder as a sub-folder of INBOX then it would
necessarily be on the server.

I think you need to get your head into the IMAP protocol and how it
works and why it works.

POP3 grabs your email from server and puts it into local folders and you
simply organize locally. Typically, the email is removed from the POP
server after it is downloaded but there are suicidal options in most
clients including Thunderbird to leave the mail on the server.

IMAP the mail always stays on the server and most clients 'cache' a copy
locally.
