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.
