-      Since IMAP folders exist on the server, and opening them or
-      checking them takes time, you need fine-grained control over the
-      ones you look at on a regular basis.  There are two tools that
-      you can use to control IMAP mail displays. The first is in the
-      Mail Settings dialog. From there, choose the IMAP account you
-      want to change, and select the <guilabel>Receiving
-      Options</guilabel> tab. Your IMAP related options are:
-<simplelist>
-<member>Show only subscribed folders</member>
-<member>Override server-supplied namespace</member>
-</simplelist>
-</para>
-<para>
-If, in your IMAP folder list, you see extraneous folders, folders you
-haven't created, or items that don't appear to be mail folders at all,
-you may wish to simplify your mail view by choosing one of these
-options.  Ask your system administrator what namespace you should use
-if you're not sure, or just use the subscriptions dialog instead.
-</para>

-You can use the subscriptions tool to hide from view those folders
-that you do not need, and to display folders in addition to those
