Even assuming this (and I think other people will fatally want to use them for something else/more), I think it would still be convenient to have a possibility to have more than one search results folder. But if the opinion here is that it's an overkill and/or that it makes the interface too complicated, I propose to start with implementing the global search results first and then see if we need anything more. Ok? TF> Secondly its a question of whether a vfolder should be static or dynamic. I think this one is "solved" -- for now they will be static.

I agree with your analysis here. We'll put the global search folder in the tree and make it possible to edit those of its options which make sense for it in the usual way.

If you want to search for all messages from someone and delete them, this might be convenient -- especially so if deleting the messages from vfolder doesn't delete them from the underlying physical folder.
