You need to create a local account. Then you need to detect when you
want to create a folder under the POP Inbox and create it under your
local account instead.

Maybe the easiest way is to create a new implementation of the
TnyStoreAccount interface that will have a POP account and a local
account inside. Then you'd redirect all the create/delete/rename_folder
actions to your local account. Something like that.
