Opening multiple tabs to view different accounts is great, but invariably I will open a tab to look at, say GMAIL, take a look, etc.  Later on, in a fit of urgency I will go back to TB, click on a different account and view its inbox. So what was my GMAIL tab is now my Hotmail (or whatever) tab. Soon all that tabs are the same and there's no real benefit. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open TB
2.Click on Acct 1 inbox
3.Launch new Tab and Click on Acct 2 inbox
4.Go do something else
5.Click on Acct 1 inbox.
6.Note that both tabs are now the same

Actual Results:  
Per above and expected given current state of product

Expected Results:  
New tabs would have all accts and folders listed, but would be nice if you could filter the folder view for "This account only". A more techie wording my be "Set as display root".  This could then be added to the "Open in new tab" function for any folder.
