How do i receive other folder then Inbox thru pop3?

You can't since POP3 doesn't support this. Use IMAP instead (if supported)
or move the contents from the additional folders on-line to your Inbox
folder so it can be downloaded via POP3.

Pathetic as it is, there are small firms using the commercial version
of GMail for businesses as well. It really amazes me since the cost of
setting up a mail server is negligible. The only real cost is in
obtaining a static IP from you ISP.

Well, truthfully there is more cost than just the static ip - running a mail
server in the office is beyond the scope of many users - they need it
configured, the mail backed up etc - that can get expensive.

Sites such as godaddy sell domains for under $10 a year that include free
email and other email plans for less than the cost of a static IP. Plus I
thought both yahoo and gmail support using your own domain name for their
paid accounts.

I run a Postfix/Dovecot mail system on an old Gateway GT5160LE PC. It
could easily service a medium office with no problems. If I were to
invest in a more powerful server & memory, the field would be virtually
unlimited. As it now stands, it services a small office flawlessly,
offering complete SPAM/AV controls via "amavisd-new". Mail backup is
handled via 'rsync' run via a CRON job. Anyone could set up a similar
system.

The advantage, other than e-mail, for a static IP is that the user
(company) can more easily run its own Web-Server, which would allow
them total control over its operation. I will agree that running a
Web-Server might be a slight daunting experience for many users;
however, it the user is willing to invest the time, it is a skill well
worth learning. In addition, running your own FTP (seriously
depreciated) server, or a modern 'rsync' server might prove to be a
valuable asset to the firm.

SEPARATE thread titled simply "yahoo pop".
 
A company using yahoo addresses for mail generally has little interest
learning how to run their own mail and web server - and frankly, its not
necessary. There are plenty of hosting companies that offer affordable
domain mail hosting, leaving the company to focus on their business, not
tinkering with technology. All they need to do is buy a domain name and
pick a hosting company. Cost will be as little as $60/yr and they won't need
to learn how to configure and secure the mail and web servers.

I believe that Sturgeon's revelation can be applied to a very large
segment of the 'Hosting community'. Unfortunately, all too many users
fail to "RTFM" or "STW" and consequently are incapable of doing
anything other than out sourcing simple projects. In the end, it costs
far more than you might think.
