10.5: Keep 'Apple Mail To Do' off IMAP accounts in Mail
Authored by: ASK on Jan 27, '09 08:14:36AM

While this did not work for me, as explained by others before me, I did make some progress on this intractable issue thanks to installing Plist Editor and poking around in the mail plist.

When I expand each of my IMAP accounts, I found a ToDosMailboxName value. I have found that by clearing the value (but not deleting the entry), no more To Do folder creation! At least so far. However, it does recreate a set of IMAP folder structures within the main To Do menu item in REMINDERS. Perhaps there is another value, rather than clearing ToDosMailboxName, that will prevent this. But if you collapse To Do, the only annoyance left is the grey expand arrow. I can at least live with that until Apple finally fixes this in Snow Ocelot ;).

Another tip is to change the order of stuff in the MailSections section - I was able to replace RemindersSection with MailboxesSection, which duplicated the sections. But it got rid of Reminders altogether.

PS: for those of you not finding NewNoteToDoAccount (not that it matters, since it's not a fix), understand that on computers, NS... comes before Ne. Capitalization trumps alphabetization.
