See that Flagged mailbox folder up there? What we want to (and are going to) achieve is this:

no-flagged-mailbox-folder

In order to get rid of that Flagged folder, you need to perform some scripting magic. Now, this may sound difficult, but fortunately, the awesome Eelco Lempsink also wanted to get rid of his Flagged, and wrote a tiny self-installing plugin, “NoFlaggedMailbox”, which gets rid of that folder, and which he has made available for free!

All you have to do is download NoFlaggedMailbox, and run it!

You can download download NoFlaggedMailbox here (this is a zip file, just unpack it and run it).
