There is an add-on that restores this functionality. You can also install this add-on using the Migration Assistant. NEITHER OPTION WORKS. GET MSG THAT THIS ADD-ON IS INCOMPATIBLE WITH 3.1.1. PLEASE BRING BACK THIS ASPECT MANY OF US LOVED IN VERSION 2. Reproducible: Always
That needs to be fixed by the author of that add-on.

Extra Folder Columns 0.4 AMO reports "Works with Thunderbird 3.0b1pre - 3.1.*" but install needs maxver bump to 3.1.* Also, there is also a comment about smart folders: Great, but I found a bug :) Great thing! I'd like to report one bug, though: I'm using the unified inbox feature, and when I install extra folder columns on thunderbird 3.1, all my Inboxes are named "Inbox", which is quite confusing ... without e.c.f. installed, they are named after the account they belong to. Rated 4 out of 5 stars by Markus Gaugusch on July 13, 2010 kwgreetings, thanks for pointing this out. (note, please don't use all caps in bug summaries)

I don't know what's going on here. As comment #2 notes, I bumped the max-version to 3.1.* awhile back (June 3), so it should be compatible. Are you perhaps on the nightly update channel and not realizing it? I just went into AMO and bumped max-version again, now to 3.2a1 - maybe that will help? Otherwise this sounds like a bug external to the add-on.
RattyAway: jminta: bumping the version via the developer interface on AMO only works if the app is online like Firefox since the XPI on AMO itself isn't updated. RattyAway: You need to push a new XPI to AMO I've added Standard8 as an owner of the add-on, in case he has time to get to this before I do.
We have now released a new version of the add-on that updates the maximum version in install.rdf. This is available here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/9716/ (This also resolves the unified/smart folder pane issues where the folder names were all the same).
