The quick selection panel
This panel is laid out as a tree structure whose selectable leafs
provides for one-click access to lists of matching messages. Each leaf
is internally associated to a SQL query; when the user selects the tree item,
the query is run, and a new page is shown with the resulting list of messages.
Contrary to what happens with simple folders, queries aren't
necessarily mutually exclusive. In particular, new messages are also
current, and the "All" leafs obviously include the results that would
be obtained with the more specialized "Prioritized", "Not tagged", etc...

Top-level branches:
| New mail | Current mail | Tagged mail |
| Messages that have not been read yet. |
Messages that are not archived yet (i.e. pending, waiting to be processed) |
Messages that are tagged, independently of their status |
| Virtual folders | User queries |
| General purpose built-in queries |
Queries saved by the user either
built with the Query/New selection command or imported directly
into the database in the user_queries table. |
Some entries have a count of messages (number between
parenthesis). These counts are updated when the Selection/Refresh command is used.
