In my old setup, a user could have folders on the server, and by using

For instance, logging in with u...@example.com would pop INBOX, and
logging in with user-fol...@example.com would pop just that specific
folder.
Is it possible to do something like this in Dovecot, or is the only
possible way of popping folders by using the virtual plugin?
Though this is of course "Paradigm error" or "Trying to ice-skate up hill".
If you want to access folders, then use IMAP.
Historically IMAP has difficult, slow, unreliable and generally gnarly.
But nowadays Dovecot makes IMAP work well.
Of course you have to pick the right client. I've never had good
experiences with MS-Outlook over IMAP, but then I haven't even bothered
with it for several years. My current favourite is Thunderbird 3.
