Which version of Windows?
I used IE3. It wasn't great. It came with MS Internet Mail and News.

I quite liked MSIMN, it was actually a pretty good client -- it just needed spam filtering, which it never got until it was a bloated mess.

BeOS mail did that, probably first.
But I don't remember MSIMN doing that.
It does sound just like a Maildir folder, though.

Maildir dates back to around the same time that Win95 was first released, and Win95 as shipped didn't have MSIMN. It had the Inbox client, designed to talk to MSN and Microsoft Mail.
