Yes, but I still want a folder (note: I haven't actually seen Zoe).  When 
your e-mail base gets to be over 200MB, whill it still search as fast?  
Yeah?  Then what % of my CPU does the indexer use?  It may not be possible 
to search and get every relevant message in some of my folders.  Early 
research may have a different name for a project; I may throw consulting 
contract info in the same folder to track communications; etc. etc.

Now, if I can tag each message as being a "Wumpus Project" message, and a 
"Contractors" message, and so on, and have a GUI that feels like a folder 
structure that has a list of predefined queries, and the performance is just 
as good?  Go ahead, I don't need folders.
