I believe he's asking for either a VFS or IMAP server implementation that allows virtual imap folders to come into existence just by asking for them. For example one could subscribe to the folder "vf-date-gt-2007-10" and the server or vfs layer would parse that into a query aand do magic filtering, giving you an imap folder with messages that meet that criteria. It's an awesome idea, and puts the abstraction down at the lower levels where it belongs. There would be significant hurdles to this kind of abstraction though, but nothing impossible. In fact, with Python and Twisted, one could probably implement a basic prototype in a weekend, after of course spending 5 months trying to understand Twisted...
