No, not yet. (Well, you can store them in plaintext in
~/evolution/config/Mail if you want. Just add ":password" between the
username and @host in the POP or IMAP URL.)

For now, the easiest way is to create the folders you want from within
evolution, and then copy the mboxes into the directory tree that it
creates. So if you create a folder /local/Foo/Bar in Evolution, copy
the mbox file to ~/evolution/local/Foo/subfolders/Bar/mbox

That's what "Copy" does. The messages are filtered *before* they
arrive in your Inbox, and they only end up in the Inbox if they don't
get copied anywhere else. Yes, this is a bit confusing.
