Not a bad idea David -- not so much for the "seeing them in folders" part (a folder's contents is only visible if that folder is selected, after all, and I don't want to have to go through selecting each of my hundred- odd folders one by one), but for the dearch by Label thing; something that I wouldn't have thought of as I'm not using the beta (I don't feel like exposing my email database to the 'bleeding edge' just at the moment).
Still, I think my original idea of being able to have mail 'stick' in the RMW is a good one; it would let me see my "things that need acting upon" list without having to perform a search. Nevertheless, once 4.2 is finalised and I switch my message database over to it I may find that your label-based solution is perfectly adequate. Thanks for the idea.
