MacMail: Hide Flagged Folder in Mountain Lion and Mavericks updates

I just updated my OS to Mountain Lion. With this update, your MacMail user interface is slightly changed. Most of the changes don't bother me. I've been through this before and I know how to fix most of the issues.

But with this update, by default, a FLAGGED folder is listed below your Inbox. I do NOT like this. The number 35 to the right of FLAGGED, nags at me.

I already know that I have these flagged and there is a reason that I want them flagged. Also, many of these are flagged from previous years. I need to find these in the future, but I can create a smart folder to triage them. (that was done last year).

So I was looking for something to remove them. According to the APPLE forums, there is no easy way to remove or hide them.

But, here is a solution!

Eelco Lempsink of Tupil (creators of Beamer) has already done the work and included an auto - Installer for it. Yah!

Download this for Mavericks OS X: http://eelco.lempsink.nl/NoFlaggedMailbox.zip
(Contact me for the previous version.) Download and double click on the Install file.

Note: with the OS update 10.8.4 from Mountain Lion, this plug-in is disabled. But all you need to do is download the plugin software and install it again. It worked for me. Let me know if it works for you!
