I don't know what "virtual folders" are.
Virtual folders, or search folders, or any number of other similar names, are things that look like folders would in the application, but are really nothing more than saved searches.
Thunderbird, Evolution, Kmail, Apple Mail, and I think even Outlook and Entourage support this capability, and if you use the feature, it'll only present those "folders" in that particular client where you set it up. It doesn't do anything on the server.
Some mail servers, however, allow you to specify saved searches directly on the server. We're evaluating the Network Edition of Zimbra (i.e., the for-pay version), but all versions of Zimbra allow you to specify your mail filters and searches via the web interface, and save your searches as well. It even exports your saved searches as (unfortunately, read-only) IMAP folders. Very cool, even with the read-only limitation via IMAP. I'm not sure, but I think there are other mail servers that will do similar things.
