Oh yeah, I understand that. Still, that's what I want, and I've gotten
that with other solutions. For me MaxMessages working properly is much
more important. Or a stable release with sub-folders.

I can't do that, at least not easily, because I index my whole mail
directory with notmuch, and there's no easy place to this outside of
that directory.

Yeap, that's exactly what I want. Forget about "[Gmail]/All Mail", and
