It is possible to come close to this by deleting any smart mailboxes that you never want and moving all of the ones you rarely want into a subfolder (like the "Examples" folder in the standard MM collection.) You can even move all of the unified "special" mailboxes into one subfolder, but that only holds until MM is quit. At re-launch, they'll pop back out to the top level. However, you CAN (at least in the latest betas) re-order them. So you can get something like this: http://www.scconsult.com/MMClean.png

Yes, that is a close analog to my current setup. To repeat, I'd like to avoid having to see the non-smart mailboxes in the MAILBOXES section, because I rarely use them, and because their presence only adds duplicate unread counts.

I find it unfortunate that I can't keep Sources collapsed. Even if I do, it opens up again when I select a message from the menu bar counter.

Why not just change what the menubar counters point to?...If it's a smart mailbox, selecting a message from the menubar icon opens that smart mailbox, NOT the source the message resides in.

Thanks! That's a good tip. I've reconfigured all the menu bar counters to point to smart mailboxes, which should take care of that part of the problem.

MailMate's excellent smart mailboxes system means that I should have to see the source mailboxes (and their duplicate unread counts) only very rarely.

And you shall not, if you adjust the configuration to your preferences.

I've collapsed the SOURCES section and will live with that for a while.

The same goes for the standard mailboxes in the MAILBOXES section.

I absolutely concur. If I could totally kill off "Archives" (which is useless as implemented, given how I actually archive email) I would. I'd also stash MOST of the unified special mailboxes in a subfolder, since even when I need to see one of them, there's rarely a reason for it to be unified across all source accounts.

Yes, I'd like to hide Sent, Drafts, Junk, and All Messages in particular. I personally access Archives and Trash occasionally, almost always when I've used one of my single-key shortcuts incorrectly and archived or trashed a message I want back.

Thanks,
John
