That is a question for your email provider. Having said that, you would be better off selecting IMAP if it is an option with your provider. When you have an IMAP account, all of your actions in the email account will sync across all of your devices and that includes creating additional mailboxes within the account.

Choose IMAP or POP for your new account. If you aren’t sure which one to choose, contact your email provider.
