The problem with this concept is that Gmail doesn't actually use Mailboxes. 
Remember their slogan is something like "sort not filter".  I've seen some
people talk about using IMAP, and that's intriguing because I can't see how
that's really compatible with the GMail web interface.  I'm going to have
to check it out.
