BCM - "My Contacts" Folder names are too long

Under "My Contacts", it says "Accounts in Business Contact Manager", and
that's just too long to be visible without using the mouseover. Why not just
have it say "Accounts". Also, it says "Business Contacts in Business Contact
Manager", and that's also too long. How about just "Business Contacts".

I can't speak for the designers of BCM but my hunch is they wanted to be very
clear to help users understand exactly WHERE these folders resided. Remember
that Outlook and BCM are 2 separate apps that are designed to work together
and appear to be the same app. Outlook uses either a PST or Exchange for
storing data. BCM uses a separate desktop SQL database for storing its data.
Account and Business Contact folder items are stored in the separate BCM
database from the regular Outlook Contacts folder.

Yes Tim, that's a good point, but not a good reason to have such a long name,
that needs a "mouseover" to see it. How about "Accounts in BCM" and "Contacts
in BCM", then it would not look like such a mess.
