What about the "open issues" section?

Some simple ways to get rid of them:

a) Disallow them
b) Allow them when mailboxes include "selected", and make it apply only
to whichever mailbox is selected at the time.

A server might be able to do this internally as well, similar to how
SPECIAL-USE's \Flagged mailbox works. EXCLUDE itself is too complex I
think, but maybe something like "personal-useful" which is like
"personal", but server is allowed to drop some "unwanted" mailboxes out
of it.
