Turning off the Folders pane (e.g. switching to its
"compact" view does that for me:

Newsgroup and account show up under the otherwise
useless and unused (except when accidentally typing
too many letters or too fast in other contexts)
"Find a message" input box.

BTW even when I maximize the (WLMail main application)
window I don't see that extra line under the Find box
so it must be a "feechur" unique to the "compact" folders
view . (WLMail's alternative to OE's much more functional
and useful Folder bar?)

ICIM my compact folders view shows only my Outbox
which may be why the newsgroup and account names
get shown separately like that...

Nope. I just switched from my Newsgroups tab to my
Mail tab where Outbox is my only (unexpanded) item
in both views and the (then redundant) line appears
only in the compact view there too.

Are you using a compact folders view too?
Otherwise I can't imagine how you could find an advantage
from maximizing the window. Perhaps that line disappears
if you have your Reading pane on and vertical and too big?...
Ah yes; it gets chopped on the right but expands slightly
when the window is maximized. How useful! ; ]
