The problem is that the maildir++ spec disallows such pathnames.  If I
need compatibility with maildir++ (for instance for an imap server), at
least on a per-year basis, then my maildirs have to have names like:

   2013/.foo.foo
   2013/.foo.bar
   2013/.foo.baz
   2014/.foo.foo
   2014/.foo.bar
   2014/.foo.baz

So if I want a way to aggregate all my foo mail in a single search,
right now I just ask for folder:foo.  Will there be any equivalent in
the new notmuch?

Thanks,
David
