Re: Wonderful (and some suggestions)

just thinking out loud a bit...
I assume you've tried GMail? GMail's labels are essentially the same thing as the grandparent's 'categories'. And while applying the labels to everything manually would indeed be a chore and a half, luckily GMail also has filters :) (so f. ex. everything addressed to kde-cvs@kde.org automatically gets the 'kde-cvs' label). So perhaps something analogous to these filters is what's necessary to make the idea workable. Or on second thought, this would serve basically the same purpose as 'virtual folders', eg, saving a search for quick access later... whether you 'filter' everything into a 'label' on the fly, or just execute the search again whenever the 'virtual folder' is accessed, is basically an implementation detail (albeit, a rather large one), the result to the user is essentially the same... though with the former approach you would also have the flexibility of manually adding/removing items to/from it.
