[Dovecot] Search results as virtual folders
This may have been asked before - if so I apologize.
Some mail clients - like Thunderbird - can provide a virtual folder or
"saved search" to provide a list of mails that match certain criteria.
Obviously, unless special client-side caching is implemented - which
Thunderbird (my own client of choice) - does not, generation of these
folders take time. Does Dovecot have any provision for generating such
virtual folders? Possibly as the result of a sieve script?

Timo is planning to implement (or is implementing already?) "virtual mailboxes", see http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2007-May/022828.html
Currently there is no way except delivering the mail to different mailboxes on arrival (for which you can use sieve of course), which is of course not "virtual".

v1.2 tree supports http://wiki.dovecot.org/Plugins/Virtual (I fixed a few bugs after v1.2.alpha2 release).
