You can join several mail sources into one virtual folder. For
example, in this query I filter mails to me in lkml, netdev and
ppc-dev IMAP folders:

/from:v.mayatskih|tocc:v.mayatskih/%lkml:v.mayatskih@imap.gmail.com:993!,%netdev:v.mayatskih@imap.gmail.com:993!,%ppc-dev:v.mayatskih@imap.gmail.com:993! "my-lkml"

This is line from my ~/.folders
