Disagree.  Our research has shown just the opposite - that users are  
"surprised" if they click on a mailbox name and the folder list  
expands.  That behavior might make sense if the folder is a container,  
but if it is a regular folder clicking on the folder name should open  
the folder *only*, not expand.
