Details

First off, I want to say "Bravo". Thunderbird is an excellent product, and is
working very well for us. I'm pushing it on everyone I know as the best email
client they can use.

Now, here is the one thing I wish we could do that I currently cannot. I am in
the main mail view with the account/folder list down the left and the message
list top right and individual message window bottom right. I have more mail
accounts added than I can see down the left side if they are all expanded, so I
would like to keep them collapsed to view them all on the same screen without
needing to scroll. However, when my accounts are collapsed, I cannot tell if
there are unread messages in the account.

My request is simply: If the account is collapsed, can we put the unread message
count after the account name? ie: bryan@simplejoehosting.com (96)

The message count could be all unread messages for that account summed together,
or simply the count of unread messages in the inbox.

Thanks again for an awesome product. I hope we can make this one tweak to make
it even better.
