[Evolution] Ordering in the Show pop-up menu



(This is something I've been meaning to bring up for a long time but
never got round to.)

The various items in the pop-up menu accessed from the Show button on
the Message pane seem to me to be in a rather arbitrary order:

    All Messages
    Unread Messages
    <------>
    No Label
    Important (colour)
    Work (colour)
    ..... (colour)
    etc. etc. (colour)
    Read Messages
    <------>
    Last 5 Days Messages
    Messages With Attachments
    Important Messages
    Messages not Junk

(BTW I don't understand the difference between the Important label and
the Important Messages menu item. Also Non-Junk Messages would be more
natural than Messages Not Junk).

When you click on the menu, it's positioned more or less in line with
the current selection, so if Evo is expanded to fill the screen -- as I
normally have it -- and the Last 5 item is selected, selecting Unread
involves a scroll since that item is off-screen.

The only items I ever use regularly are Unread, Last 5, and All, so my
preference would be to have these close together in the menu. I also
find it odd that the various coloured labels are sitting in the middle
of other stuff. I would love to be able to limit the menu items to
things I use (similarly to how one can choose which message headers to
show).

I'm sure other people have different opinions about this, but I thought
I'd just throw it out there.
