+**(170) Why can't folders be created with POP3?**
+
+The POP3 protocol has commands to download and delete messages from the inbox only.
+There are no commands to access any other folder.
+
+Creating a local folder only and storing messages on your device only is a bad idea
+because losing or breaking your device would mean losing your messages.
+Therefore this isn't supportable.
+
+Please note that FairEmail doesn't store a copy of your messages in the cloud for privacy reasons.
+
+If you want to store messages in folders, please use IMAP,
+so that there is always a copy of the messages on the email server.
