Are folders up to the server or the client? You want folders in 
/var/spool/mail/?

I use uw-imap, keeping mail in /var/spool/mail/username, readable 
locally by mutt.

Both mozilla mail and kmail move the mail out of 
/var/spool/mail/username to /home/username/mbox.

Afterward, either can read it, as can mutt if I point it to 
/home/username/mbox (mutt -f mbox).

This is on a libranet (debian) system using postfix.
