Details

The expand/collapse status of mail folders in the folder pane should be
persistent.  Right now, on starting the messenger, all mail folders are
collapsed.  To read mail you have to 1. expand the mail account, 2. select the
account, then (on POP), click Get Msg.  Ideally, the last selected account, or
the default account (the account setup dialog has a button for "set as default"
but I'm not sure it works), should be opened automatically on startup and new
messages downloaded.

In 4.x, we did this with the folder cache, and since David B wrote the new
folder cache in panacea.dat, reassigning to him. Not sure if we could also do
this with persist attributes on the tree, so cc'ing putterman too.

I think the goal is to do this with PERSIST.
I think it would be a lot smarter to do it with a persistent attribute on the
tree, since then the tree would handle it all for us. Otherwise, someone would
have to write code to get the expanded/collapsed state from the tree, remember
the expanded and collapsed state, and restore it when we start up. Is that
possible, Scott?

yes, that is the plan.

Please also remember the sorting criteria in the thread pane, if possible.
Also remember expand/collapse status of header frame; see bug 21125
Target Milestone: M15
would be nice for beta.
I just checked in the code where it remembers folder pane collapsed/expanded
state.  Still need to make it load the default Inbox on startup.
