Emory has posted a simple fix for the annoyance of using Mail.app with Exchange server, that works for him.

Mail.app’s lack of support for folder subscriptions mean that you have to deal with numerous folders on Exchange server that you wish you didn’t have to see.

He finds that Lars Eggert’s Perl Script for filtering IMAP folders is a little flaky. And he doesn’t much care for other tips to deal with this problem.

He recommends creating a top level subfolder instead and creating the folders you want to have underneath that. Setting the IMAP prefix to your top-level subfolder means that Mail.app ignores everything else.mail.app, apple mail, IMAP, exhange server, public folders, subscriptions, tips
