Prevent creation of the Mail To Do folder on IMAP servers

I've just tried this in Gmail, and it seems to have worked so far. Here are the steps I used:

Followed the steps above.
Quit Mail.app.
Opened Gmail in the browser.
Went to "Settings", then "Labels".
Removed the label there.

The next time I opened Mail.app, the disconnected triangle appeared next to the Gmail To Do, and then it and the Gmail To Do section disappeared. It hasn't reappeared yet.
