I'm not sure what you mean by message by message. are you reading more
then one message at a time?
it does show you the folder index.
if you mean that it doesn't download the folders to your local disk,
that's how IMAP work, you keep all your folders on the server. it is very
useful if you are using several computers to read mail, but IMO, it is too
slow when you are receiving alot of email. 
pine does not support pop3 directly, you'll have to use fetchmail.
