I would really rather see Virtual folders on the same level as other system
folders such as Inbox, Drafts, Trash, etc. Like This:
Inbox
-- fromFamily
-- fromFriends
-- fromWork
Drafts
Trash
Virtual Folders
-- Last Search
-- Important Items
-- Older than 1 week
Personal Folder1
-- fromFamily
-- fromFriends
-- fromWork
Personal Folder2

It's not only the issue of saving space. The hierarchy complexity for a human
to process grows exponentially with depth. That is why saving even a single
level of depth is important. Also, the app looks unwieldy with too many
antlines along the side. Removing even one level of hierarchy depth makes the
application look much more inviting.
The only real argument for leaving the hierarchy as it is would be so that one
could collapse the Local Folders and IMAP folders. For those with IMAP folders
I agree that this is important and I support the current behaviour. However,
those without IMAP are much better served with the top level of the hierarchy
(Local Folders) hidden. Could it be made so that Local Folders is shown only
when there is something else (i.e., IMAP)? There is no arguement for collapsing
Local Folders when there is nothing else.
