== More of a Server-client Approach to folders? ==
Noting the number of suggestions to do with importing/viewing/organizing messages in folders, might it be a good idea to take the client-server approach further to allow more flexibility and minimize disruption in the future as major changes may occur to implement changes that are seen as important now? You can either think of it as an evolution to an "IMAP-on-steroids", or as a major redesign so that TB is split into two parts - one that is a local server to look after all message filing and searching (that may use a database, may access an unmodified Outlook files, etc) and while the other half does the display (and that could even be implemented simply as a web page in firefox).
The underlying mechanism for communication between the two halves would have to take into account all the changes suggested now, plus more. I imagine it would have a very fluid idea of what a "folder" is... messages could be in several folders (by date, sender, subject, keywords) and should allow for virtual folders (like the old VMS email system).
