Hi Ullrich,
I don't know GUI way to achieve what you want, but if you don't mind modifying menu file by hand, you'll get.
 Try the following
 cd /etc/xdg/xdg-xubuntu/menussudo cp xfce-applications.menu xfce-applications.menu.orig # Backup your original filesudo mousepad xfce-applications.menu
 Here you see the following lines in lines 22-26;
exo-web-browser.desktop
exo-mail-reader.desktop

xfce-settings-manager.desktop
This defines how items are listed in the top menu. 
Now you don't want web-browser and mail-reader on top, so delete the two.

So now it should look like the following;
xfce-settings-manager.desktop

xfce-network.directory

exo-mail-reader.desktop
exo-web-browser.desktop
This decides what should be displayed in "Internet" menu. 
Here we see that mail-reader and web-browser are excluded from the menu. 
So delete these lines. (from  to  
So it should be like this;

Network
xfce-network.directory

Network
Now right click and see the menu. You should see these icons disappear in top, but appear in Internet menu.
Hope this helps,

This removes ALL appearances of this item in all directories.
I would like just to remove "Mail Reader" and "Web Browser" from the main
directory, but keep them in "Internet" directory.

This seems not possible?
