Yes, I can confirm: You are not a GUI expert.
Currently, I have four tabs: "Inbox", "Outbox", "Draft" and "Search" - these are folders for mails, except "Search", this is a virtual folder.
The very most IMAP provider offering the "Sent" and "Trash" folders. So it would be nice, to have them as tabs too.
Indeed, you are right - there are a lot of folders available for a lot of IMAP providers. Additionally, there are additional user defined folders too. To implement one tab for each of that folders are too much. But software should be configurable, like PP it is. So inside the Account settings of PP, a user could be able to select, which folders he wants to see as a tab. By default, "Inbox", "Sent" and "Trash" should be enough.
"Outbox" should be visible only, if PP should not send the mail immediately. (Btw: If I configure PP to send the mails immediately, the window should be disabled but still visible until it's completely sent.)

I understood the current implementation: PP was originally a POP3 notifier - and it grows to a simple POP3 client and IMAP was implemented easily later on. And the easiest way to implement the remote folders of IMAP is using one PP account for each remote folder.
I believe, you are working hard on PP. But you waste a lot of time while doing this, because you do not really understand how to make it easier. For example, you are offering a lot of documentation how to use PP instead of handling it really intuitively.
Indeed, it's harder to develop a software intuitively, than to write a large documentation of it. Same thing for the forum: You are mods are answering questions as well. But it would be better for the users to have it more intuitively.
Example: There are a lot of Plugins available for PP. Why? It would be more easily, if a lot of them would be integrated complete. So you and the users would have a lot lesser work handling and understanding them. Additionally, the Plugins are currently not translatable, which makes it harder for the users to understand them.
(Btw: For the Spelling plugin, PP does not show a correct note, if that plugin is not installed. Also, it's hard to figure out, that Spelling is a Plugin. Last but not least, this plugin is not available on your plugins download page. There are also no note, how to install it by choosing the right way inside POPPeeperPro-Install-v541.exe.)
In your whole PP project, there are very many small issues. You don't see them by yourself - and because of this, you can't fix them by yourself.
No human is perfect. But each of them are here on earth to grow up and learn to become better. I wrote the paragraphs before to show one way to you, you can go. But it's your decision, if you want to go to it.
Maybe, I'm a good GUI expert for software. But I'm a very bad writer. So I had to find a solution for my issues writing texts. Because of this, I'm happy about each Spelling software, assisting me to find my spelling mistakes.
So it's important for each of us, to know our personal issues and figure out, how to handle them.
I offered a lot of small translation issues to you ("German translation" mails). You can use that mails to solve that issues, if you want. I wrote them not to force this, but I wanted to offer a chance to you to do that.
