The answer is no. You will have to create the folder from either the MacMail, Outlook or the webmail interface in order to see the folders on the iPhone. Folders cannot be created from the iPhone.

As Craig says, you can do this with an IMAP account, but not POP.

Yes I do use IMAP and have suvcessfull created folders on different computers as well as the webmail interface. Question is, can I create these folders on the iPhone?
