It seems weird to me that a software package will add folders to the server |
| 13 |
solely because that is it's default then expect the *user* to clean up after |
| 14 |
*it* whether by hiding extra folders or deleting useless ones |
| 15 |
|

It's a minor gripe, to be sure, but a well-rounded release could have shown a |
| 17 |
dialog to the user and asking them to select the various folders to use. Or |
| 18 |
even if it finds "Trash" and expected to find "Junk" or "Deleted Items" it |
| 19 |
could use what is there. There are only so many common synonyms for a trash |
| 20 |
folder, it's not hard for code to look for them all and pick one. |
