No. they are to get to the various mail boxes in your favorites. you can move 
to the first 10 by hitting cmd 1 to cmd 0. Each box becomes checked as you move 
to it I guess for the sighted person to see where they are in their list.  you 
are supposed to drag folders out. I now how to drag them in  but dragging them 
out is becoming a chore  and a half.
