What a coincidence, I was with a client yesterday and that was a topic of
conversation. I was going to ask the same thing.

I actually can tell you how to get rid of it momentarily nut the damned
thing won't stay gone. 2003's version of the unkillable office assistant :o)

Down at the bottom click the Folder List Icon - it will hide the favorites
pane. Unfortunately when you choose any of the other items such as Calendar
or Contacts, the darned thing pops back in when you return to Mail.

You can right click on each folder in the favorites pane and click remove
from favorites which makes it as small as possible but I haven't found away
to make it JUST GO AWAY!

I am investigating actually using this feature though.

BTW I think o2k3 is much more stable than o2k.

I made the mistake of allowing Outlook to upgrade to 2003 when I installed
Office 2003.  Now my email view is just about unusable.  

I have about 50 or 60 mail folders, and I need every inch I can get to view
them (and still can't view them all) but now the top two inches of that
column is taken up with "favorite folders", which I don't need, don't use,
and don't want.  Is there any way to get rid of that?  

Additionally the "currently selected folder" now displays "grouping headers"
for today, yesterday, yadayada taking up taking up space to tell me when the
email came in.  I like that piece to display at the top, but this grouping
header nonsense now takes up so much room that I can't view any of the email
itself below.  Is there any way to get rid of that?

Is there just a way to say "let me see everything the old 2k/xp way"?  I
have no problem with new and better, if it is better, but none of the
changes "enhance my email experience" IMHO.
