Yes,
while reading the first input file build an associative array ref keyed by the first field with values from the second one. You should add more control here: I'm assuming that the second field is always present and that it does not contain special (for the shell) characters.
While reading the second input file check if the first 3 characters match any ref key, if yes: checks if a directory with that name already exists, if not creates it. Then prints the current record in a file named as the second input filename in that directory; if not: does the same for the others directory.

Hope this helps.

array imap_listscan (resource $imap_stream, string $ref, string $pattern, string $content) DESCRIPTION

' *' means to return all mailboxes. If you pass $pattern as ' *', you will get a list of the entire mailbox hierarchy. ' %' means to return the current level only. ' %' as the $pattern parameter will return only the top level mailboxes; ' ~/mail/%' on UW_IMAPD will return every mailbox in the ~/mail directory, but none in subfolders of that directory. o $content - The searched string RETURN VALUES
