I don't know that you can assume that. VFolders are an attractive way
to organize mail outside the traditional hierarchical framework--I can
imagine using a lot of searches to find the message I need, instead of
filing each message in a single, not always appropriate, folder. If you
offer a tool that allows a user to manage his or her mail in a new way,
you'd better be ready to meet the demands that a creative user makes!
