While we haven't started writing code for the email parcel yet, I think 
we will be doing what you want.

We probably won't have folders at all (per se), just one big database 
and a bunch of different attributes (like "is spam", "is unread", "is 
flagged", "is OSAF Design Mailing List", "has category of 'Church biz'", 
"is to-do", etc).  You'll have a number of different Views, each of 
which will be a stored query combined with a stored presentation.  You 
can also create Views on the fly.
