The problem is that the maildir++ spec disallows such pathnames. If I need compatibility with maildir++ (for instance for an imap server), at least on a per-year basis, then my maildirs have to have names like: 2013/.foo.foo 2013/.foo.bar 2013/.foo.baz 2014/.foo.foo 2014/.foo.bar 2014/.foo.baz So if I want a way to aggregate all my foo mail in a single search, right now I just ask for folder:foo. Will there be any equivalent in the new notmuch? Thanks, David
