That would be nice too. It reminds me of Calypso, a windows mail client I
used to use. Everything was subsumed under one tree view, including those
items and even things like the mail account definitions. It's a very good
design imo.

My suggestion of using a straight list though, was one which I thought
might actually have a shot, being relatively cheap to implement, and not
too disruptive of the current design - it's just adding another list to
the existing ones.

I dont expect to see it anytime soon, but the way it works now is still
worlds better than what I used to put up with using Agent, ie restarting
the program with a different ini file for each server. So I'm not
complaining :)
