hi,

i get occasional ghost mail folders, especially on orifice365.  folders
in the folder bar which are dimmed offline but can not be deleted.

so i went to explore and fell down a rabbit hole in

    Library/Application\ Support/MailMate/Sources.plist

it's a bit hard to understand.  i have four accounts in mailmate, and
would naïvely expected them to all have entries for
    archive
    drafts
    junk
    sent
    trash
as they each have folders of those types, well not archie as i do not
use that.  they don't.  and there are creative mangles, such as

    junk = "imap://outlook.office365.co@outlook.office365.com/Junk";

notice the co@; and why is it doubling anyway and not using the userid?

i am resisting wiping MM's cache file and taking emacs to the
Sources.plist.  but it is tempting.

is this documented?
