You can select which folders to synch, yes, and if synchronisation is set to "Always on" then this is effectively push email.

This means I NEED to be aware of emails, yet don't want to be woken by the various colleagues working late or Cisco newsletters in the early hours of the morning (I sleep little enough as is).

I currently use an E71 with Roadsync, because this lets me sychronise my emails in various folders with a very LOUD ringtone (when on my on-call profile) that will wake me instantly in the night. All my emails are sorted by on-server rules into various folders such that nothing should land in my inbox in the night.
That sounds similar to what I do - I only have the important folders set to synchronise, so I know any incoming emails need looking at.

Unless I'm misunderstanding what you're trying to do, then yes, it's possible with the N900 currently. I've no idea what issues you've heard of with mfefolders though - I think there's a limitation where you need to have all parent folders synchronised for a child to be synchronised (or to show up in the email client anyway, so it may be a limitation in MfE/modest instead).
