Package: claws-mail
Version: 3.1.0-1
Severity: normal

Upstream.

claws-mail requires a local folder (which therefore *must* display in the
accounts tree) in order to send mail for any account.

I don't want a local folder (at all).  My configuration got automatically
imported from Sylpheed (nicely done!), but then I had to google "Could not
queue message for sending", discover that it meant that claws-mail would
*not* work without an otherwise useless and unwanted local mail folder in
the folder tree, and create the thing.  I can't even remove the useless
"inbox" "trash" "drafts" and "sent" folders, when all I want it for is to
satisfy claws-mail's insistence that it needs a local folder.

So ... create it yourself, developers.  It's easy enough: look for a local
MH folder that contains a "queue"; don't find it; create it; then *don't
show it to me unless it's got something in it*.  I've got nine accounts to
keep track of already; I don't need another false target to misdrop onto.

Yes, I understand that it's supposed to keep my important email safe.  No, I
still don't want a "local folder tree".  If you need a place to keep it
safe, and there's no local folder, ~/.claws-mail/queue.  I don't want to be
forced to create it, and I don't want to see it (except when claws crashes
and I need to recover a queued mail).

Thanks.
