Get rid of Unread Tab

I've setup a virtual folder to show all the unread msg in a single folder, so I have no use for the "unread" tab. Either getting rid of it completely or hide it in the account pane is fine. Thanks.

But otherwise you can't do it. __________________________________ I'm just a user of The Bat! I don't work for Ritlabs.

I have no idea how they got there, I suppose I put them there at some point when I previously used The Bat. I've been looking but don't see a way to remove them. In fact, I don't remember how I put them there. Any ideas?
