This "virtual folder" is located...where?

And is used...by whom?

*You* use this virtual folder to manage *your* e-mail?

Does the ticker folder have anything to do with the black mail ticker
(the one that scrolls across the screen), by any chance?

And are you saying that (through filtering and sorting):

A message can be received, colored, etc., forwarded to a certain mailbox
(account?), and then when you reply to that message, it can be colored
again (or decolored) and then automatically forwarded to yet another
mailbox, with no further input by the writer (after setting up the
original filters)?

Damn, that confuses even me, and I wrote it!  Geeeeeeeeez.
