"Hide" WLMail accounts

I have a number of accounts that I set up which i exclude from send/receive
and which I don't use for any other purpose than to store a set of SMTP
settings to use for various types of outgoing mail (using an alternate SMTP
server or reply-to address, for instance).

In OE, this wasn't a problem, because there was no listing of all those
"extraneous" accounts in the folder pane. However, now it becomes an eyesore
and problem with WLMail because they all get listed in the folder pane.

Of course, I clicked the arrow to minimize the listing, and I used the
positioning (move-up/down) to bring my "real" accounts to the top for easier
use, but I sure wish there was a way to "hide" it since I never will need it
to have its own set of inbox/deleted-items/etc folders for viewing.

I prefer to have as clutter free view as possible. The less I have to look
at, the less chance I have of missing something important.

Re: "Hide" WLMail accounts

Minimizing the accounts is all that's available.
When minimized, clicking on the remaining icon provides a view of the inbox

Re: "Hide" WLMail accounts

During the beta testing period, this was a much requested feature,
but like many other requests, the developers ignored it.
