+Oh, man. That's a serious bummer.\r
+\r
+Is there any mechanism left that would let me hierarchically group\r
+messages? I've got a ton of mail.* folders, and create new ones\r
+dynamically. I really want a mechanism to group them hierarchically, so\r
+I can have a search that matches all current and future mail\r
+directories. I organized my whole mail setup around folders because a)\r
+tags do not provide this kind of hierarchical control, and b) there\r
+doesn't seem to be a convenient way to apply tags 100% reliably on\r
+message delivery, whereas I *can* control the folder 100% reliably.\r
+\r
+Worse, because of my poor performance, I was hoping to segregate\r
+messages by year. So it would be:\r
+\r
+ 2013/.mail.class\r
+ 2013/.mail.voicemail\r
+ 2014/.mail.class\r
+ 2014/.mail.voicemail\r
+\r
+All the way back. Now you are saying there will be no convenient way to\r
+match just the "mail.class" part without the year? How very\r
+distressing. Ugh.\r
