I have already tested deleting an account's folder set in the left pane, and
as expected, it deletes the email account from Tools>Accounts, the behavior
I would not like to see. Adding the email account recreates its folder
tree. We're stuck with the same subset of folders for every email account
WLM imports or you create.

Ryder
