Sample fetchmail line to access that sub-folder?  Here is what is working now 
for the main one, obfuscated of course.

poll MAILBOX.verizon.net with proto pop3
        user MMMMMMM with password NNNNNNN is PPPPPPP

I'd assume a \backslash\something-or-other appended to the FQDN address since 
their system is winderz, but me not a winderz user either, so I'm in the dark 
too.

I'd call vz and ask them but they would question my sanity cuz I'm not 
using "their" webmail.  And even if you escalate, I've never found anyone who 
was willing to talk to somebody who isn't running winderz.
