Currently I have it set up so I press a shortcut that takes me to a
virtual folder for my inbox. I'm not sure why I don't just by default
only use virtual folders. I think the reasoning is I was concerned
that if I deleted a message I wasn't sure whether I would delete it
from my inbox or a different location that was made available because
of finding the thread. I don't know if this is to be a legitimate
concern or not.
This is exactly the reason why I use virtual folders! I don't want to
micro-manage messages when notmuch can do that for me.
Is there a reason not to only use virtual folders?
Do you use virtual folders by default or do you only switch when you
e.g. want to open a thread?
I use virtual folders almost exclusively. On rare occasions I open a
real folder, in case I suspect any of the automatic tagging in the
notmuch hooks are going wrong.
Hope this helps,
