Where are these mail dolders you speak of?  Are theye up on the IMAP 
server, or are they ones you've created on you own personal computer?

I have a combintation, myself.  I keep some stuff up on the imap sever, but
I have over 50 unique mail folders on my workstation for most of the mail.
[IMAP]===> getmail ==> procmail ==> [local folders]
