Virtual Inbox - logical grouping of all mail in polled folders that is 
unread.  You'd click on the Virtual Inbox folder to get a listing of 
all such mail.  Provides a way for you to quickly read new messages 
across many folders.

Virtual Trash - logical hiding of all mail in all folders that is 
marked with the IMAP Delete flag.  You'd click on the Virtual Trash 
folder to see all your deleted mail.  Messages stay in the folders they 
were originally filed or placed in, instead of being copied to a Trash 
folder, or being shown as marked as deleted.
