Hi,

folder:Inbox would search for messages in a sub-directory 'Inbox' under
your Maildir directory.  You could search for 'tag:inbox' if new
messages are tagged as such by the new.tags configuration option.
However, bower doesn't have a quick way to remove the 'inbox' tag,
though it could be added easily enough.

I normally leave bower open on the last few days' mail, and only change
the search query if I'm looking for something in particular.  I use
folders and tags sparingly.
