[MlMt] could smart mailbox let me edit/type the folder ?

[Max Rydahl Andersen]

Just to explain my insane number of folders. It's the only way I've found to be able to sanely handle mailing lists on iOS mail app. 

When every mail from a mailing list goes to its own folder I can just limit my folder list in iOS mail to track the ones relevant for me instead of getting everything showing up on phone. I wish iOS mail would support smart mailboxes :)

About cmd+T then for me a more scalable UI than the one used currently (btw. I have the same issue with iTunes smart folder UI.):

Why not have the field be a text field and behave like cmd+t, popping up combo filtered by the name and then have a "..." To open up the combo selection of death ? 
Or vice versa, keep the current combo and add a "..." Button to open up cmd+t dialog to allow simpler selection. 

For me I prefer always having a text field so I can copy/paste into it, but that might just be me :)
