Hi James,
They kind of are an extension to searching folders. Basically, they let you define a number of search criteria which you can then apply to any number of your mail folders, and the mails that match appear in that VFolder. So, for example, I have one that checks for mails sent to me from people at Tolis, the company who produce the BRU backup software, it shows me relevant mails from all of my 70+ mail folders
So can you use them (&/or evolution) to handle multiple e-mail accounts? If so can that be multiple e-mail accounts aquired by different methods (e.g. across the network and by ISDN or modem?

Evolution handles multiple email accounts without using VFolders, at work, I have three mail sources: the company's Exchange server (via IMAP), mail to usr-local-bin.org (via POP) and my local mbox on my desktop machine. In addition to that I also have many mail identities, signature options and outgoing server options (useful for testing stuff)
