Yes. See 'Receiving emails': http://doc.otrs.org/2.2/en/html/x1267.html

What you call a 'folder' is what OTRS calls a 'queue. See 'What is a  
queue?': http://doc.otrs.org/2.2/en/html/x715.html And see  
'Notifications' for notifications: http://doc.otrs.org/2.2/en/html/x995.html

A user with sufficient rights can set the owner of a ticket to any of  
the available agents. Or agents can lock open tickets from the queues  
they have access to themselves to work on them.

I'm afraid that kind of notification is not available out of the box.

It's documentation, not a guide on how to use the software. There are  
a lot of ways to use OTRS and writing an HOWTO for every possible way  
is probably not feasible. It's best to just read the docs, think about  
what kind of setup and workflow you want to achieve and see if you  
can. If you have any questions, post them to this list.
