i just deploy this server, but, the current administrator has set-up a thunderbird clients in his network in order to get mail, sqwebmail is not in use anymore (just for reading mail outside the network), current maildirs are bigger than 800MB, even 3.8 GB; since the thunderbird deploy the imap clients get the error message "timeout...", if i install courier-pop (to download the mails from the server and keep a copy of them  and keep maildir to sqwebmail), is useful but i need that the maildir as in IMAP get downloaded in pop i mean if the user's maildir has inbox/folder (any mails in there), the same structure will be download by the pop client....is that possible? o i have to manually creatre the imap structure in the pop client?

No, you don't, and you can't. You're trying to do the impossible. You cannot "create the imap structure" in any POP3 client, not Thunderbird, not any other mail client, for the very simple reason that the POP3 protocol has no concept of mail folders, whatsoever. Therefore, the only thing that's accessible via POP3 is the mailbox's INBOX.
