thanks. so one thing i use Virtual Folders (in evolution) for is to have a virtual folder of, for example, unread plug email. In the filter I say look in the plug folder (the real folder, where my mail filters drop all plug mail, plug-misc is separate), and then show me all email that is unread (not exactly in those terms, since there's no "not read" status, but an equivalent that has some minor bugs, e.g., emails marked important will show up). the "search" is done in realtime. e.g., if i were to go to the real plug folder and delete a single unread email, then the virtual folder's unread email count will be decremented. i think when i looked at thunderbird, it didn't do that update in realtime. but i'll look at it again. i haven't really been testing deeply. anyone else on the list who manages 50k or more emails? i used to have a lot more than that, but i remove mailing list emails once in a while since there are many online archives and google searches faster than evolution can :-). > There are extensions that handle removing of duplicate messages.
