During the beta testing phase, we repeatedly asked the developers
to give us an alternate OE-like combined folders view, but the
only response was to use QuickView folders.
I have 10 POP accounts, and for neatness and manageability
I keep them collapsed to one line each. I do all my reading and
deleting from the QuickView folders, which I have organized as
follows: Unread e-mail, All inbox, All sent items, All junk e-mail.
I seldom have to go into the individual account folders anymore.
About once a week I go to the individual Deleted Items folders
and empty them.
