Hey, Michal.  Thank you very much for this patch!  This is right on with
what I mentioned as high-priority improvements.

I just gave it a try, though, and it seemed to be behaving a little
strangely.  I currently have two subdirectories, "inbox" and "sent".
However, new mail to either directory was showing up under the search:

notmuch search folder:inbox

and nothing was showing up under the search:

notmuch search folder:sent

I wonder if there's a problem with the logic it uses to determine the
folder naming?  Do you think you could look into this?  I would really
like to push to have a patch like this applied upstream soon.

jamie.
