I just tried this. Following the instructions in the article I turned off "Smart Features" and Gmail proceeded to put all of my incoming mail into the same folder. Apparently having a separate spam folder is considered a smart feature.

It even turns off the spellchecker. The fucking SPELLCHECKER is considered a smart feature.
