Default Embedded search folders

Hello everyone,



I have a question about search folders. On my work mail I receive more than 20.000 mails per year, which is already an amount that needs to be organized, otherwise ends up as a complete mess. Doing it manually would take a LOT of time (imagine going for 14 days long vacation). Search folders seem to be perfect to do that task. With proper set up one message can show in multiple folders if I want it to. I used to move messages with custom rules into other regular folders, but then the rules kept failing for whatever reasons. Also I had a problem, that if I first read a message on my mobile, then the rule wouldn't apply. Besides all that, it just did not 'feel right'. Search folder simply was exactly the kind of automation I need.

Except for one thing. I cannot find a way to organize them. Insert one search folder into another, or even into a regular folder. Simply put, create some kind of hierarchy. Ideally I would have 100+ search folders to organize everything the way I need, but because of this problem they would all be thrown into one pile, alphabetically sorted. That's a proper mess, and doesn't really help me save time, which is my goal in the first place.

Any ideas? Plugins, workarounds, or even ideas about other ways to deal with my problem would be most welcome.

Thank you

M.
