For the win!

Agreed. I run with all but one of my special folders unexpanded, so I
see all my folders, including the system-supplied ones. The one folder
I leave expanded is the first one subordinate to Inbox, and it contains
my most-accessed subfolders. I tend to forget that not everyone runs
Evolution the same way I do. So, for example, it never occurred to me
that someone would want any of the system-supplied folders, except
Inbox, to appear at the top of the list.
