How do I remove Archives and Templates from the Unified Folder View OSX app?
I don't use Archives or Templates. There is no folder on my servers that correspond to these and they are not subscribed in my IMAP settings.
They don't appear in the per-account view. But they somehow appear in the unified folder view.
I am not able to figure out how to make them disappear.
Help.

Try rightclicking the archives heading and select properties and click choose.. That should show a list of accounts and you should be able to untick displaying the folder.

That doesn't work. Clicking "Properties" under the Archives folder heading brings up a dialog to edit saved search properties. There is no option to remove the subfolders themselves.
You could try deleting them from the Mail/smart mailboxes directory in your profile, then re-start Thunderbird.
I do NOT know if there is any risk in doing that.

I found one thing that helps. After deleting the accounts, and restarting I added them back in again. Under each account, I found a "Message Archives" setting which I unchecked for all my accounts. That doesn't remove the "Archives" header in the Unified folder view, but at least there are no longer any subfolders.
Thanks.
