I'm still trying to figure out a good way to get my directories
listed at the bottom of my FOLDER LIST and to be able to easily
ignore my empty mailboxes. My latest experiment is to unset this:

[ ] separate-folder-and-directory-entries

and use this setting:

folder-sort-rule =
Set Rule Values
--- ----------------------
( ) alphabetical
(*) alpha-with-dirs-last
( ) alpha-with-dirs-first


Unfortunately, the dual-use items, which are *both* mailboxes and
directories, are not listed last. Instead they are listed in the
location that they would be listed if they were simple
(non-dual-use) mailboxes.

Here's my request: Make it possible to list these dual-use items
last. Maybe something like this:


folder-sort-rule =
Set Rule Values
--- ----------------------
( ) alphabetical
( ) alpha-with-dirs-last
( ) alpha-with-dirs-first
(*) alpha-with-dirs-and-dual-use-items-last
( ) alpha-with-dirs-and-dual-use-items-first


I hope this makes sense... Maybe tomorrow I will respond to the
conversation about folder/mailbox/directory terminology, but I'm
not up for that conversation *AGAIN* at the moment!

Thank you,
and good night,
Nancy
