Is it possible that our local hack to prevent inappropriate caching of
folders living in /afs is having an unintended consequence of making
virtual folder searches behave non-obviously?
Is the right way to fix this to rename 'Sent' as Victor has, or to
refine our caching hack?

Hey Bill,
Remember how I was saying that Evolution would not pick up my sent
messages in the VFolders? I found a workaround:
When specifying the Sent folder in previous versions, the Sent folder
was listed with a pathname beginning with /afs/athena....... Now, when I
add the Sent folder again, it is specified relative to the
/mit/vchudnov/... mount point. When referenced in this latter fashion,
"Sent" is scanned; otherwise, it apparently isn't, though they both
refer to the same location. Go figure.
[And of course, there shouldn't be a need to explicitly specify the Sent
folder when one says "All Active Local And Remote Folders," but that was
a pre-existing bug...]
