Yeah, I thought of that as well.  I didn't think of a real clean
solution to that.  Perhaps there needs to be a menu item to refresh the
vFolder contents or perhaps the VFolder contents should be automatically
refreshed every time you visit the folder.  Or at least the message you
are currently reading shouldn't go away due to filters!  Outlook has a
view for unread messages and I think they disappear as soon as you move
to the next message.  I'll have to check next time I run Outlook.
