Hi !

I'm using Topic mode to sort my different mailboxes/groups and I find it
too limited.

Mostly because I can use one name for only one topic.

For example I have the following topic hierarchy:

   [ Jobs ]
        [ company-A ]...
        [ company-B ]...

So far so good, but now for each job I have a mailbox, so what I'd like
is:

   [ Jobs ]
        [ company-A ]
           [ Mailbox ]
        [ company-B ]
           [ Mailbox ]

which is currently impossible I think. Same with projects, lists..

Ok I could prefix all sub topics with a prefix (for example the name of
the company) but that doesn't sound right.

Am I missing something ?
