Don't know about others, but lets see what you make of this comment:

I have 5 accounts (all POP3) set-up in Mozilla, I also have extensive Local
Folders and have all accounts configured with at-least a catch all Filter which
moves all incoming mail into a folder within Local Folders. Each account is also
configured to store all Drafts/Templates/Sent mail in the Local Folder's special
folders (Drafts/Templates/Sent).

What do I end up having... well, for each account I have Draft/Template/Sent
folders which are never used... and Local Folders always comes below all the
accounts (above Newsgroups).

1/ Perhaps we could offer a preference on the Account's Manager to hide/show
special folders for the each account
2/ or perhaps just always move everything to a Local Folder and have one inbox
per account (since I find Local Folders are easiest to backup, or access remotely)

... or something else, what does anyone think?
