It does support folders. You can still do the sorting in Seamonkey and |
17 |
the results will be available to any other clients you use, but only if |
18 |
you run Seamonkey first. The alternative is to do the sorting when the |

mail is downloaded, using something like procmail. Then you mails will be |
20 |
sorted regardless of the client you use. |
