Is it possible to rearrange folders in the unified view to have subfolders below the inbox instead of below Drafts, Templates, Sent, Archives, and Outbox?

I like the unified view in that it places the inboxes for all the accounts I have together. However, I would prefer that the subfolders for the inboxes fall immediately below the inboxes. Instead, the Drafts, Templates, Sent, Archives, Junk, Trash, and Outbox folders are above the subfolders.

Is there a way to rearrange these so that the subfolders fall immediately below the unified inboxes with the others below them?

I realize that I could go back to the "All" view and have the inbox and subfolders next to each other, but I really like having the "Unified" view for inboxes.

"Subfolders"?

Unified Folders can only work by coalescing standard folders which are guaranteed to be in every account, e.g. Sent. Trash, Drafts.

So, which "subfolders" do you propose it should show you? It can't show arbitrary user-defined folders.

The intended use for Unified Folders is to use it collapsed, with all the component Inboxes hidden and one single joint Inbox on show. I think the main reason for being able to expand all the Inboxes is to help the user to identify which account an incoming message arrived in.

I don't trust Unified Folders; it can't count. There are (IMHO) better ways to manage multiple mailboxes, using Saved Searches and alternative folder views such as Unread. .
