Hello Alto,

I can't work out exactly when virtual folders are updated. Selecting
the VF, the parent folder or the source folder doesn't do it. Pressing
refresh in each of those folders doesn't update either.

If I read a message in the VF, it is marked as read in the VF and the
source folder.

If I read the message or mark as read (without reading) in the source
folder the VF is not updated.

VF's are updated after a restart. This is not immediate and takes up
to a minute with a source folder of 9,000 messages.

Auto-Refresh and Store State between session don't seem to do anything 
useful.

Such a long-running PITA. :-(
