Unfortunately, View Modes are not capable to display messages from many
folders. This feature is assigned only to Virtual Folders, therefore they
can search through all accounts and folders tree.

Not in such a case. VFs created on the base of searching have bugs (they
cannot display of search results if searching is done in message text), but
in general, they are quite usable.

Safety is quite different thing, because you can implement "safe deleting"
in account or folder properties. Then messages will not be deleted
physically, because they will be moved to chosen folders. In my opinion,
removing message from Virtual Folder without deleting it from source folder
would be an inconsistency in implementation.
