Hello,

I am a long time courier maildrop user. The maildir format as supported by maildrop is a great format for its improvements over mbox formats and its compatibility. However, it also lacks some flexibility for managing email. For instance, things I would like to do include:

* Creating dynamic mail folders, e.g. a virtual folder of all messages with a particular header. The maildir format requires messages to be moved or copied there physically.

* Fast search. The maildir format requires an external index to do that.

Are there preferable solutions or work-arounds to achieve this? Or are there plans/projects in this direction? Afaik, current web clients and server-side mail handlers support static folders only.

Best regards, Torx
