Ah. I must be unusual in building a folder structure like this then:

inbox
unix
	mailing-list
	mailing-list
	mail
		mailing-list
		mailing-list
	hardware
		mailing-list
		mailing-list

network
	mailing-list
	mailing-list
work
	client
		project
		project
		client-sent-mail
	employer
		client
			project
			project
		client
			project
		employer-sent-mail

If I know that the information I'm looking for was related to employer,
but don't know which project it was, it would be better to search
employer and subfolders rather than all local folders.
