I hope you are kidding. Microsoft Exchange went this way. I don't like 
the result.

For virtual folders, I use symlinks in my ~/Mail. They work fine both 
with mutt and (seemingly) dovecot:

[vas at adm2 ~] file Mail/sibptus/fido7.ru.unix.bsd
Mail/sibptus/fido7.ru.unix.bsd: symbolic link to unix

I'm not sure however if this method really works correctly with dotlocking (e.g. mutt_dotlock).

Or do you mean individual message "labels" instead of folders, like in Gmail?
