u can file a bug i guess, not sure how practical this is to implement
given the structure of the code though.

i dont know what the knowledge base is on, the only reason its done like
that is that until you open the inbox, it doesn't know if you have any
new messages to filter.

if u setup a vfolder that can automatically open all folders (the
default config used to contain this in 1.1.x, but i think it got
removed).
