Hi Teresa and list, That is clear so far. How would you go about removing an item from the favorites bar? I spent some time yesterday, trying to figure it out, but while making an alias to a mailbox inside the favorites bar is easy now that I know how to do it, it is not as easy to undo that. Any idea how that can be done? I'm asking because the favorites bar has a few items by default, that I want to remove.
