Well, while we are quietly chatting about Mairix, I have a suggestion...
Would it be possible to add a new Folder type (Mairix Search results), and
have it automagically parse the links that are present in the disk
directory to recreate the folder tree when presenting the search results ?

For example, if the search result directory contains :
lrwxrwxrwx   1 rol rol      52 Apr 27 22:27 27845 -> /home2/rol/Mail/Dossiers personnels/Phabricator/5768
lrwxrwxrwx   1 rol rol      52 Apr 27 22:27 27984 -> /home2/rol/Mail/Dossiers personnels/Phabricator/5906
lrwxrwxrwx   1 rol rol      71 Apr 27 22:27 28515 -> /home2/rol/Mail/Dossiers personnels/Sous-dossiers/ASAComputers/54
lrwxrwxrwx   1 rol rol      71 Apr 27 22:27 28517 -> /home2/rol/Mail/Dossiers personnels/Sous-dossiers/ASAComputers/56
lrwxrwxrwx   1 rol rol      66 Apr 27 22:27 28573 -> /home2/rol/Mail/Dossiers personnels/Sous-dossiers/ASInfo/106
lrwxrwxrwx   1 rol rol      64 Apr 27 22:27 29120 -> /home2/rol/Mail/Dossiers personnels/Sous-dossiers/Artem/73
lrwxrwxrwx   1 rol rol      47 Apr 27 22:27 3005 -> /home2/rol/Mail/Dossiers personnels/Achats/2242
lrwxrwxrwx   1 rol rol      47 Apr 27 22:27 3006 -> /home2/rol/Mail/Dossiers personnels/Achats/2243
lrwxrwxrwx   1 rol rol      47 Apr 27 22:27 3007 -> /home2/rol/Mail/Dossiers personnels/Achats/2244
lrwxrwxrwx   1 rol rol      47 Apr 27 22:27 3018 -> /home2/rol/Mail/Dossiers personnels/Achats/2255

then it'd be great to have Claws display a Search result tree that would be
Search results
 > Dossiers Personnets
   > Phabricator
   > Sous-dossiers
     > AComputers
     > Info
   > Achats

because often, you know that the information you need is in a folder, but
the "flat" presentation of the Mairix results doesn't ease the
identification of the mail containing the info.

Or is it possible to have Mairix create a directory tree that Claws could
process ?

Regards,
Paul
