Hello, I currently have the following folders that are immediately underneath my main inbox and above all of my filing folders. They take up a lot of real estate and I'd love to be able to remove them:

-Sent Messages (I have a "Sent" that is where my sent messages go to)

-Archive (I don't archive emails)

-Archives (ditto above, it is also empty but will not go away when I delete the msf / sbd files)

-Junk (I do not use, I use the spam folder which is immediately below it).

Any help in removing these from the left column and free up this real estate would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks, Matt
