How do you tell Evo? I didn't realize this was configurable.

This is a suggestion, not an existing feature. The user would drag
folders around on the folder pane so they looked like he wanted. This
would obviously have to be recorded as part of Evo's per-user state.
It has nothing to do with the specific IMAP (or POP) server.

You mean you can't read your company mail and your private ISP mail
from the same session? That's what I'm talking about, not having
multiple accounts on the same server (which is also useful in some
cases BTW).
