How does gmail (or other clients with smart searches) deal with this (for gmail, in the search view)? How feasible would it be to have the automatic refresh add messages, but not remove them?

If reading a message in the virtual inbox, after the mailbox refreshes, that message disappears from the mailbox. Deleting etc. still works, but with no visual feedback. I'm not sure how to deal with it, but from a usability standpoint, it would make most sense if the currently selected message(s) in the mailbox keep visible, even if they are no longer in the mailbox. Might have to implement forcible refreshing in that mailbox. i.e. The mailbox is loaded once, but you don't get the automatic polling for new messages or manual updates unless you click on an explicit button/link.
