Jep.

It helps a bit now that the folder tree is split between components -
but most people have a lot of mail folders I guess. But at least your
mail and calendar and contacts are not in the same tree.

What do people think of guenther's idea? It saves quite a lot of space,
which is good, but I am wondering if it is a pain to use (two clicks
instead of one) and it only shows the current tool which sort of hides
the other components from view. Would that be a problem?
