Oh, man. That's a serious bummer. Is there any mechanism left that would let me hierarchically group messages? I've got a ton of mail.* folders, and create new ones dynamically. I really want a mechanism to group them hierarchically, so I can have a search that matches all current and future mail directories. I organized my whole mail setup around folders because a) tags do not provide this kind of hierarchical control, and b) there doesn't seem to be a convenient way to apply tags 100% reliably on message delivery, whereas I *can* control the folder 100% reliably. Worse, because of my poor performance, I was hoping to segregate messages by year. So it would be: 2013/.mail.class 2013/.mail.voicemail 2014/.mail.class 2014/.mail.voicemail All the way back. Now you are saying there will be no convenient way to match just the "mail.class" part without the year? How very distressing. Ugh.
