Do you mean sub-addressing ( user+string at gmail.com ) or virtual mailboxes
where mailboxes are really tags rather than folders?

Any worthwhile SMTP server should support the former. I recommend using a
period rather than a plus sign if you've got a brand new setup. If period
is unacceptable for some reason, then a dash. Too many stupid web forms
refuse to allow plus in an email address :(.

If you mean virtual folders, then dovecot say it'll handle it, but I've
never gotten around to it.
