Hi Sahil,
POP3 should download the newly created folders, unless there are some other idiosyncrasies of which we're not aware. But as a matter of practice, why the mismatch? Better to have users on IMAP from desktop and notebook. Unless this is a mandate "from above" or a legacy issue, move everyone to IMAP!
well, IMAP needs far more resources on the mail server, so for some users POP3 is desirable. :-)
Is this a real measured problem or a theoretical one?
(Tip: implementing some sort of compression tunnel end to end can really speed up imap header downloads over slower connections (actually I find it speeds up opening larger mailboxes in Thunderbird even over a 5mbit connection...)
Good luck
