「折には」の情報
When the noun 折 'fold' or 'pleat' is used adverbially with the case marking particle に, it indicates a time which may be used as an opportunity to do something. It is often translated as 'on the occasion of (A)', or 'when the chance of (A) comes up'. It is an expression that is primarily used as a formal, positive alternative for 時に, but there are times that it may indicate something negative.
折に may be seen after any structure that could connect to a noun, but will primarily appear after verbs in their standard forms, or nouns followed by の.
In most cases, 折に will be used to indicate things that happen 'from time to time', rather than one off events.
折に触れて - On the occasion of (A), always (B).
折があれば - If there is the chance of (A), (B).
折を見て - When the conditions are good for (A).
折も折 - At the exact moment of (A).

For the question: メール、本社の上司に：「お暇____ぜひ我が支店にお越しください。」
I was thinking の +折 based on の 折 being a noun, but since it is an adjective as well it’s supposed to be な.
Is it possible both are correct? Or does the context make hima an adjective in this case?
nekoyama
Normally, only な is used.
暇 is always a na adjective since that’s a property of the word, it’s just not always used adjectivally. But in this case it is.
But in a sense, “context” also plays a role. For some reason the na adjective 暇 tends to be used with な with words like 折 or 時 and in many other cases, while the na adjective 多忙 (opposite of 暇) uses の like in ご多忙の折.
