Annoying:

- refining the search of a search folder has no effect... though the criteria
is changed the mails "found" are just a repeated result of the prior search - I
tried to search for a completely different name in the header but all the mails
of the last search are still in the search folder, no new mails are added, no
mails are removed... this happens everytime regardless of whether I change the
name of the search folder or not... 

- also it is not possible to copy a search pattern and create a new refined
search folder with a different name - the old search folder just gets renamed
(but, as mentioned before, doesn't change the content in any way...) 

- removing a search criteria is not possible, the button to remove a criteria
line is greyed out... 

- the search folder shows 240 results but the mail list area only shows around
30 mails... 

All in all, the virtual folder system is not in a working shape. I vote to
remove it while it's a mere proof of concept (not even as such it is
convincing!) - it scares of users from kmail. If searches do not provide
reliable results. You have to trust your mail system if you want to work
productivly with it.
