Bug Description
RP Goldman reports (viewmail-info, 2013-06-03)
I was trying to experiment with some earlier advice (for which many thanks) that I should get Thunderbird-like behavior (hidden deleted messages) by using a virtual folder with the "undeleted" selector.
This seemed to work nicely, but then I had an oddity when I tried to save a message with "s" -- vm-save-message. When I did this in the original IMAP INBOX folder, I was prompted to save the message to an IMAP folder. This seemed to me to be the correct behavior.
However, when I was in the virtual folder, I got a very different behavior. I get prompted "Save in folder: ~/" which seems to me not to be The Right Thing.

Yes, you might regard that as a design flaw in VM. Since virtual folders
can combine multiple real folders, they don't inherit the features of any of
them. So, even when you make a virtual folder from a single parent folder,
nothing gets inherited. It irritated me a few times as well.
I will add it to the Wish List to do something about it.
