Steps to reproduce:

I have two Thunderbird 91.6.1 "Inbox" tabs;
#1-Work email Inbox
#2-Personal email Inbox with 100+ folders which is the first account in the list (20+ years of organizing email across hundreds of topics)

Folder expansion appears to be common across all Tabs.

I switch to Tab #2 and have to expand the account folder list to see my personal Inbox.

When I switch back to Tab #1, the Folder list for "personal" Tab #2 remains expanded in the TAB #1 "work" view and I have to manually contract the list to find my Tab #1 Work email Inbox which is now 100+ lines down the folder list.

This minimal amount of effort is fine for the first day or two but becomes quite tedious after weeks/months of having to expand/contract every time the "other" Inbox Tab is selected many times in one day.

Actual results:

Explained in "reproduce". I would attach a picture but work and to some degree my personal accounts information/folders are confidential.

Expected results:

I would like different Folder expansions for each Tab to be remembered with each Tab because I do want Folder expansion to be different within each Tab's view. i.e. different folder expansion settings for "work" and "personal" accounts
