Is there anyway to remove REMINDERS from Mail 5.0 sidebar?

New Lion Feature, no way to remove that I can see.

You could drag REMINDERS to the bottom...

If you hold your mouse all the way to the right of the word Reminders, the word HIDE appears. Simply click on that.

Not sure how it works with Track Pad; mine is coming in the mail today : )

Yes, at least the following worked for me.

I had a similar situation where flagging one eMail message automatically created the "Reminders" mailbox on the sidebar with a "Flagged" section. Same thing with "Notes". I unflagged, deleted, also did the same thing with the note, and although it was empty (no note and no flagged message), the "Reminders" section along with "Flagged" and "Notes" sub-sections remained. I couldn't get rid of it. I came across the same issue on another discussion here, and someone suggested the following (I am pasting their response):

OK, I've got some good news for you. Go into your Applications folder and find the Mail.app folder. Drag it to the dock where you have your old mail dock. It will not place two mail icons in the dock, but what it will do is when you open up mail from the dock, it will mysteriously remove that annoying Reminders in your mailbox pane to the left.

You may have to open mail using the mail.app folder in your applications folder first before this actually works. All the rest of your mailboxes will be there, the only thing that is removed is the Reminders.

I tried it, and it worked for me. If it works for you, let me know, and I will include the link to the discussion, and the member who suggested it. Keep in mind that the member states the "Mail.app folder", there is no folder, it is just Mail.app.

Glad it worked for you. Thanks to member kjdeedjk whose response gave me the answer.
