Add an option to add only new subfolders of already selected folders.

I second that. This would be reeeeeaaaaally useful !
I wish I could help out, but I can't understand a thing at this whole XUL mess at the moment... (I mean the Thunderbird extension mechanism of course)

I see you figured out the xul-mess.
I hope I'll find time to borrow some code from your extension. ;-)

I see you figured out the xul-mess.

Took me two whole days, greping the source, reading IDL files, and getting lost into the MDN jungle... :-/

I uploaded version 0.2 on both github and addons.mozzilla.org.
Now the updating process is fully automated: the search targets are updated whenever a new folder is added or a virtual folder's properties are edited.
The hardest part was figuring out how to hook into the virtual folder properties panel, but at some point I realized that a script in an overlay has access to all global variables defined in the element it extends, and then I was shocked !
