Well, I, for example, subscribe to several mailing lists...currently 
27. I have
a folder and filter for each mailing list such that when I visit my INBOX, it
automatically moves all new messages to the appropriate folder.

Now, the views I am most interested in would be:

Important
Not Important
Unseen

So, the number of Virtual Folders I would need would be:

27 * 3 = 81

This seems to be an extraordinary amount of work for something that could be
handled automatically with an additional feature.
