It does support folders. You can still do the sorting in Seamonkey and
the results will be available to any other clients you use, but only if
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
sorted regardless of the client you use.
