Got curious after that descriptions and played with vFolders.
vFolders in a tree seem to be a nice option to organize them. But
unfortunately they are not cascaded. I mean, filters from the parent
vfolder rules are not inherited, every vFolder has its very own rules.

To get vFolders in the tree to the top level, just drag-n-drop that
vFolder to the root 'VFolder'. Or create trees as you like that way.
Moving to the root gets rid of the 'sub/' part of that name.
You know, thats a GUI -- graphical user interface. Not just a console
with mouse-sensitive text... ;-)

Wow, got that too. I created a vFolder 'sub/folder' and now I cannot
remove the folder 'sub'.
Problem: It is no vFolder. I can delete vFolders, but not that implicit
created 'folder'. :-/
That's seems like a bug.
More vFolder strangeness:
- Right click 'VFolders' root gives you the option to create folders.
What folders?? I can create folders there?? Seems not, mail folder gives
error.
- Creating vFolder 'sub/folder' really creates a folder 'sub'. So I
*can* create folders? What folders?? Where are they stored??
- That folder 'sub' really sits there just to hold vFolders. It is a
one-way folder btw. I cannot delete or rename it. Moving is 'not
supported'. 'Properties' prompts me a weired warning:
"Trying to edit a vfolder 'vfolder:/home/guenther/evolution/vfolder;noselect=yes#sub'
which doesn't exist."
So it is a vFolder? Is it a folder? Does it exist? (Damn, as long as I
can see and 'touch' it, it exists.)
Really strange things...
btw: Thanks arthur, now i have a stray [non]existing [v]folder... ;-))
