And Evolution can sort your POP accounts into folders using filters, as
explained elsewhere.

Not sure what that has to do with anything.

Clearly it is broken for many use cases, including the one you've been
talking about here. POP is an obsolete protocol. The *only* reason to use it is when your mail provider 
doesn't support anything else. There is nothing you can do with POP that you can't also do with IMAP, and 
IMAP provides significant advantages when you access your mail from more than one device, as virtually 
everyone does nowadays.

However this has topic been hashed over more than once on the list and
people will use what they want to use.
