405832 - I'd like to see the "Outlook Bar" like Outlook Express has.

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, enhancement)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; .NET CLR 2.0.50727)
Build Identifier: 2.0.0.9 (20071031)

I just downloaded Thunderbird for the first time.  But I won't use it until it gets the "Outlook Bar" feature that Outlook Express has.  I find it extremely useful to have the large icons that I can drag emails to.  The current "Favorite" or "Recent" folder views don't work for me because the icons are not large, and, because I want the large icons present at the same time as the full folder list so I don't have to toggle which folder view I want all the time.  Thank you for listening.

I've started using the "QuickFolders" Add-on, and it's a pretty close substitute for what I requested, so I'm pretty happy with that.

Outlook Express is long gone and unusable nowadays and https://quickfolders.org/ seems indeed like a good suggestion for this use case.
