[Dovecot] Dovecot Virtual Folders... could these be managed by a/the Client?

[Charles Marcus]

Hi all/Timo,

I was thinking about Thunderbirds ability to create Virtual folders 
allowing you to have many different views of your messages...

The downside though, is you only see these in Thunderbird.

I know that dovecot supports server side virtual folders:

But I'm wondering about the possibility to manage these from the client 
side...

For example, would it be possible to create an extension in Thunderbird 
that allowed the user to manage these (create, edit the filters for, 
delete, rename, etc)?

Thanks,
