When I have an email and I want to "Move to Folder", the folder order changes
depending on which folder I moved the last email to.  How can I get the
folder list to stop moving around?  I want the folder list to remain in
alphabetical order.  Thank you.

the folder list is an MRU list - as such, the most recently used folder will
always be on top.

Thank you.  Is there any way to remove it from an MRU list?

Thank you.  What are the risks for deleting the entire list?  When I select
"Move to Folder", will there be a list to see?
