Is there a way to get rid of the Archived, Deleted Messages and Junk

from the mailboxes tree…I don’t need them, visual clutter…
The short answer is no, but it has been on my todo for a long time.
I'd like a feature which allows the user to define custom standard
mailboxes, but this would naturally also allow one to delete them (and
this would then also allow deleting the default ones).
The long answer is yes, but it's tricky. The default set of standard
mailboxes can be found here:
MailMate.app/Contents/Resources/standardMailboxes.plist
This can be edited, but that's bad because it's overwritten when
MailMate is updated. Instead, it can be copied to this location:
~/Library/Application
Support/MailMate/Resources/standardMailboxes.plist
This takes precedence over the default file. You can edit it and
remove the mailboxes you don't need, BUT:
When you do this then it'll mess up the ordering of your smart
mailboxes. This only happens when you remove a mailbox.
If I update the default standardMailboxes.plist then you won't see
those changes.
I'm not 100% sure there won't be side-effects of MailMate not being
able to, e.g., find the Junk mailbox. (But I would be willing to look
into such issues.)
I do realize that the long answer also sounds a bit like “no” :-)
Hi Benny,
Thinking out loud here.
Rather than deleting the mailboxes, since the issue is visual clutter,
wouldn't Hiding them suffice. Then Mailmate would still have access.
I'm thinking an addition to the right-click dropdown on every mailbox,
"HIDE" this mailbox.
Then an addition to preferences or perhaps some other menu that simple
lists ALL mailboxes and indicates whether it's Hidden or Shown, and a
single click to change from one to the other. Kinda like the way Gmail
lets you select whether an IMAP label is hidden or shown.
Then you may just need code in the display logic to honor the
Hidden/Shown flag.
