Disagree.  No other MUA does this either, for the reasons stated above.

(For example, Thunderbird allows you to select a specific mailbox  
after you search, but DOESN'T identify what mailbox any individual  
message is from in the results list.  Gmail merges all search results  
into a single list.)
