http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Plugins/Virtual It's a bit hard to wrap your head around it in the beginning, but once you understand what it can do, I'm sure you'll find a use case. Think of it as special view for all messages in Dovecot. You define which set of messages you want to display as a mailbox/folder. This view (or multiple views) is being updated dynamically going forward. For instance you can set up a certain filter/selection like you can with a modern MUA. The difference however is: your Virtual view(s) will be available regardless which client you are using, whether they have integrated filters capabilities - or not.
