The documentation has been quite outdated for some time, and I guess
the most likely time we'll see a new documentation is when v2 is
released. Contrary to what some people suggested when v1.45 was
released recently, no new documentation or help file was included in
the release.

They are not "folders". If you look more closely, they aren't named
"Inbox" and "Outbox", but rather "Incoming Mail" and "Outgoing
Mail". And it's one of the most powerful feature of TB.

Unlike most, if not all, of the other mail clients, TB allows you to
have different filters for incoming mail, outgoing mail, read mail,
and replied mail, plus a kill filter (called "selective download" in
the newest version). And the sorting office is where you manage all
the filters for an account. Filters organized under the "Read
messages" tree, e.g., won't be applied to, say, outgoing messages.

The most confusing category for some people is the "Replied
Messages". Filters in this category are applied to messages to which
you reply, not the reply messages (to be sent by you) themselves.
For those, you have to use "Outgoing Mail" filters.
