"Local folders"

"Local folders"

Parent article: A look at Thunderbird 0.4

I dislike the popular trend of using some "local folders" which are
folders with special privileges, and often cannot be removed. It is
commong among readers such as Outlook and Evolution, while simpler and
more functional readers such as pine and mutt doesn't do this. This is the
most common source of error for e-mail users. I would straight away use
the first pretty GUI e-mail reader that abandons this behaviour. The
article doesn't mention this, but they are visible in the screen shot, so
I suppose Thunderbird isn't quite there yet.
