**(170) Why can't folders be created with POP3?**
The POP3 protocol has commands to download and delete messages from the inbox only.
There are no commands to access any other folder.
Creating a local folder only and storing messages on your device only is a bad idea
because losing or breaking your device would mean losing your messages.
Therefore this isn't supportable.
Please note that FairEmail doesn't store a copy of your messages in the cloud for privacy reasons.
If you want to store messages in folders, please use IMAP,
so that there is always a copy of the messages on the email server.
