Feature request: "Non-smart" folders for organizing Smart Mailboxes

#1349

I use quite a few Smart Mailboxes and would like to create "ordinary" folders to organize my Smart Mailboxes.

I found a workaround by duplicating the default Examples Smart Mailbox, since it does not have any source folders associated with it. It would be nice however to have "ordinary" folders with a distinct icon to distinguish them from the built-in folders (Inbox, Drafts, etc) and the user created Smart Mailboxes.

    Ah, I found the section on Low-Level Customization in the Help! I'll do it that way.

    Kind of a duplicate of #42 (very old issue :-) ), but I'll keep this ticket open for tracking this specific issue (creating group mailboxes).

    Perhaps custom folder icons?

    @Keith: There's no GUI to do that, but consider this.

    Perhaps an option whereby the containing folder can have as it's message list the union of all of its sub-smart folders.

    It's possible to remove all mailboxes in the Mailboxes pane of the mailbox editor. That now puts the mailbox into the same state as “Examples”.
