In the case of Horde it would require quite a bit of work to support something 
like this, as there is really nothing available currently that can handle 
what is being proposed.

That being said, it is something I (as well as the other Horde developers, in 
a more general sense) have wanted to look at; creating some form of virtual 
folder hierarchy which can be used for several purposes, such as the one 
Martin proposed here, also being able to add "search folders" (as Kontact 
does), as well as handling the groupware folders more intuitively/cleanly.

So overall I have no problem with this idea, and if it is generally beneficial 
to everyone (as it looks to be so far) then I think it's a good idea to 
persue.

Cheers,
