Good catch, I was using 8.1.1. I just updated to 8.2.0a, and now my virtual folders based on IMAP folders work fine. Thanks! I discovered one inconvenient aspect though: opening a virtual folder based on three IMAP folders first opens the three IMAP folders individually. I end up having three frames on my screen that I need to close one by one. I was planning to have a virtual folder regrouping all new messages from about 20 mailing lists, but I don't think that's a good idea. > Actually, since you are going to be the latest additions, it is best to get > the development version (the "trunk").

Works fine as well - and this looks like a recent addition as well. It's good to see that VM gets improved IMAP support! Konrad.
