Or read below: 

This one is rather easy to explain, ok, so when you click the inbox of any given account you get the right top pane that shows all of your inbox messages and then the bottom right pane that shows the message you clicked on. What I would like is that when your sitting on a collapsed account tree that these panes still show on the right. As per my last request, this again is something in WLM that I would like to see in TB.

To make it really easy...

I would like to take this..

This is better done as an add-on. Please request this from add-on developers.

Basically, it looks like replacing account central with an inbox view when the accounts are collapsed in the folder view. Despite the poor presentation, it is probably not a bad idea.
