+The problem is that the maildir++ spec disallows such pathnames. If I\r
+need compatibility with maildir++ (for instance for an imap server), at\r
+least on a per-year basis, then my maildirs have to have names like:\r
+\r
+ 2013/.foo.foo\r
+ 2013/.foo.bar\r
+ 2013/.foo.baz\r
+ 2014/.foo.foo\r
+ 2014/.foo.bar\r
+ 2014/.foo.baz\r
+\r
+So if I want a way to aggregate all my foo mail in a single search,\r
+right now I just ask for folder:foo. Will there be any equivalent in\r
+the new notmuch?\r
+\r
+Thanks,\r
+David\r
