I have five folders for my IMAP account: Inbox, Drafts, Sent Items, Junk E-mail (filtered by Entourage), junk-mail (filtered by server). None of these are children of another folder. But after a DB rebuild, the column settings are usually (always?) hosed for all of them. > Have not tested this for the different type of accounts. When I get some > time, I'll have to test this out.
