Hi Scott,

For every mail account Evolution sets up two virtual (or "search")
folders: Trash and Junk.  These folders show only the messages in your
account that have been marked for deletion or marked as junk mail
(respectively).  These are the items with the special icons.

The problem with this approach, and it's a long standing problem with
Evolution, is that it infringes on the account's namespace.  This is the
situation you're in.  There is currently no way to move or hide these
two special search folders in each account.

One could reasonably argue that they belong in the Search Folders
section of the left "folder browser" pane.
