I have 3 identities for one gmail imap account (4 sent folders), when I switch to smart folders folder pane mode I see only one generic sent folder (named as account).

Problems:
1. Unread count is almost always wrong.
2. With large in size folders (20k messages in four locations) it is almost impossible to display complete/final message list on slower machines
2a. the list is changing all the time (new messages added to the list, wrong scrollbar position and so)
2b. threading works per identity/folder, eg after the oldest thread (if I sort threads by date) for folder1 I see the newest one from folder2 (right in the middle of messages list)

It would be probably much better and more intuitive to display all special folders of the same type separately, not grouped per account (as the ones from different accounts).


Reproducible: Always
